A lake is much more than an individual body of water-it's a reflection of how we use the surrounding land. What you do to the landscape directly affects the water quality of lakes and can heighten such problems as unsightly algae blooms, nuisance weeds, siltation, reduction of wildlife habitat, and loss of natural shoreline.
Here are some helpful tips on how to keep your lake clean and healthy. Whether you're a lake user or lake-front property owner, be aware of your actions and help keep Wisconsin's 15,000 blue jewels blue!
