The Horseshoe Lake Public Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District is focused on lakeshore preservation, environmental conservation, community engagement, regulatory measures, and sustainable growth to preserve the natural beauty and ecological health of Horseshoe Lake while fostering a vibrant community.
Healthy Lakes Wisconsin
Healthy Lakes is the name of a program in Wisconsin. The Healthy Lakes Implementation Plan describes relatively simple and inexpensive best practices that lake shore property owners can implement, including shoreline restoration practices. Its goal is to protect and improve the health of Wisconsin lakes by increasing lake-shore property owner participation in habitat restoration and runoff and erosion control projects. Lake partners, including our lake district, may adopt this Plan as is or integrate the Plan into a planning process.
Invasive Species Control
Zebra Mussel News: This invasive species has been discovered in over 300 lakes and rivers (list) throughout Wisconsin. (Our lake is not currently on the list.) The Polk County website has important information. As stated there, “With zebra mussels likely present in Polk County it is more important than ever that lake residents know how to identify zebra mussels and participate in prevention activities such as Clean Boats, Clean Waters and the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network for Aquatic Invasive Species.”
Lakeshore Management Plan
Horseshoe Lake has a 5-Year Lake Management Plan. Dave Blumer from LEAPS has put this plan together for us over the past two years. Included are three Appendices that support the APM Plan. The first is the Goals, Objectives, and Actions. The second is the Five-year Management Implementation Matrix. The third is a pullout of the management discussion section in the APM Plan.
Lake District Association Meetings
The next annual Lake District meeting will be held at 9:00 AM Saturday August 16th at the Beaver Town Hall.
About us
Horseshoe Lake Public Inland Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District
The Lake District brings lakeshore owners together to discuss matters that affect the quality of life on the lake, agree on appropriate actions and establish a yearly budget. The Lake District operates under the guidelines and requirements of Section 33 of the Wisconsin Statues. All Horseshoe lakeshore property owners of record are voting members of the Lake District and are encouraged to participate in Lake District member meetings.
A lake district is the most inclusive form of government that exists in the US. The lake district board does not make any decisions. The members (the landowners, both residents and non-residents) who attend lake district meetings, discuss matters and then vote on those matters make the lake district decisions.
