About Us

The Lake Wissota Association is a 501C3 non-profit organization made up of volunteers with the common goal to preserve, enhance, and protect Lake Wissota and its surroundings.

The Lake Wissota Association will use its resources to enhance water quality in Lake Wissota through science-based education and broad community involvement. 

The Lake Wissota Association is a Wisconsin qualified lake association managed by a volunteer board of 12 directors. Our purpose is to preserve and protect Lake Wissota and its surroundings while enhancing the water quality, fishery, boating safety and the aesthetic values of Lake Wissota as a public recreational facility for today and for future generations. However, as a lake association the organization has no control over lakeshore development or lake use.

Membership in The Lake Wissota Association is open to any individual, family, business or organization. The following membership levels have been established to allow members to contribute in a way that is meaningful to them:

Bronze ($20) | Silver ($50) | Gold ($100) | Platinum ($150+)

All membership levels are eligible for Healthy Lakes grants to fund projects supporting water quality and the habitat on their property.  Additional benefits include a biannual newsletter, annual meeting, periodic special meetings, annual picnic, and opportunities to volunteer for committees and events supporting the ongoing care of the lake

Our website is a resource where you will find information to improve your knowledge of Lake Wissota. Among other things you will find upcoming meetings and events, Lake Wissota maps,  Lake Wissota Stewardship project updates, WI DNR studies, information about water level fluctuations and the Wissota Hydro dam, , lists of native plants, and information on Clean Boats/Clean Waters and Healthy Lakes grant opportunities.

Of special interest to all lake owners is the Lake Wissota Stewardship Project (LWSP). This is a public/private partnership of the LWIPA and the Chippewa County Land Conservation & Forest Management Committee implemented to improve water quality in Lake Wissota by reducing runoff pollution from its contributing watersheds. Through this project, landowners in the Lake Wissota watershed, install and agree to maintain permanent conservation practices such as planting tree buffers or creating sedimentation buffers that protect and improve lake water quality. Learn more about LWSP at  www.lakewissotastewardshipproject.org.

Please join us in our efforts. We hope to meet you soon out on the lake or at one of our meetings held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
