If you have spent time looking at this web site and the activies of the Board, you will note that we have spent a considerable amount of money on studies about our lakes. Many of these are requested by the DNR to document the condition of the water, our weed culture, pollutants, etc. Some studies are quite elaborate and expensive. We have included access to these studies as PDF downloads. Since the funds for these studies comes from public funds we feel it is important to place them at the public’s availability. In addition, they will be available for future Board members who wish to review or build on their results.
A summary of the study/presentation will be provided along with a button that will allow you to access each. Many of these are very large PDF files (greater than 200 mb) so the downloads may take awhile.

Lake Property Owners Survey – Final Report
Recently (early 2014) the DNR advised us that they were going to classify both Lake Minocqua and Lake Kawaguesaga as Impaired Waters and add us to a list that will be given to the Environmental Protection Agency. We did not want this to happen so we submitted the attahced document. The pages are in reverse order.
