We represent citizens and lake groups like you who care about Wisconsin’s lakes as a shared resource, and who appreciate the value lakes bring to our quality of life, tourist economy, and property tax base. Wisconsin Lakes seeks to protect the natural wonder of our lakes, and preserve our collective right to boat, fish, hunt, ice skate, swim and enjoy the scenic beauty of our shared public waters.

Wisconsin Lakes Partnerships

This partnership is a statewide, multi-faceted effort that reaches far beyond the core groups to include regional, county, tribal, non-profit, and federal stakeholders.

The Partnership is comprised of three organizations: the Department of Natural Resources (which supplies scientific research, technical expertise and regulatory authority); the UW Extension Lakes Program (which provides supporting educational materials and programs); and, Wisconsin Lakes (which helps to engage citizens to be advocates for lakes).

Our goal is to continue to protect and preserve our Wisconsin waters and support those meeting the challenges that come with the management and stewardship of its lakes.
