The Village of Slinger is very proud of its excellent schools, great public services, and endless and varied recreational choices. It is situated in beautiful Kettle Moraine geography, an area filled with pot-shaped depressions, or kettles, formed when large blocks of buried ice melted after the glacial ice lobes receded. Make plans to visit Slinger which offers ample opportunities for fun, dining and relaxing. Visit the Village Hall for more information about the area.
