Lake Delton is a village located on the Wisconsin River in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 2,914 at the 2010DC census. It also makes it the largest community in the Dells area passing the Wisconsin Dells. Lake Delton, along with the nearby Wisconsin Dells, is a resort area and a major center for tourism.
The village of Lake Delton was originally named Norris for Edward Norris the surveyor of the village in 1850. The Village changed its name to Delton, but changed again in 1926 to Mirror Lake to avoid a conflict with the Town of Delton in that area. The name Lake Delton was taken after the construction of the Dell Creek dam creating a reservoir also known as Lake Delton. The village was incorporated in 1954.
On June 9, 2008DC, Lake Delton, the approximately 267-acre (1.08 km²) dammed artificial lake adjacent to the village, overflowed its banks, washing away four homes and a portion of Old Newport Road (County Highway "A") while nearly emptying the lake basin into the Wisconsin River following several days of torrential rains.
Among the attractions at Lake Delton are the world's largest Trojan Horse (part of Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park), the world's largest (artificial) Pink Flamingo, as well as America's largest waterpark Noah's Ark Waterpark. From 1952 to 2006DC, Lake Delton was home to The Wonder Spot.
Most of the businesses in Lake Delton have a "Wisconsin Dells, WI" even a "Baraboo, WI" address. So it is confusing for the residents living in that community.
