Lake Lucerne – Survey Information
In 2023, the Lake Lucerne Advancement Association (LLAA) initiated the development of a Comprehensive Lake Management Plan (LMP) in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The LMP serves as a science-based framework that outlines how a lake will be protected, restored, and managed for the future. More importantly, it serves as a community agreement—and community means you. Your participation is essential. The information you provide will help our professional partners at White Water Associates develop recommendations that truly represent the community’s priorities and values.
It is important to note that the results of this survey will not be used to recommend or establish regulations, ordinances, or any other legislative measures.
With assistance of the Forest County Land Conservation/Land Information Department, property tax record was gathered for all property owners within 1 mile of Lake Lucerne. Data was then reviewed and property owners were identified. In turn, all current members of the lake association were also sent an additional survey in the event that a property had multiple paid association members.
Why is a LMP important?
This Plan helps us to evolve as Lake Lucerne evolves. For example, in 2024, Eurasian Water-Milfoil (EWM) was identified in Lake Lucerne and is currently being managed through hand-pulling efforts. Purple Loosestrife and Phragmites are also present and are addressed through monitoring and removal as needed. Additionally, Rusty Crayfish and Chinese Mystery Snails inhabit the lake.
Survey feedback will assist in shaping future aquatic plant management strategies. LLAA is working with consultants to identify Eurasian Water-Milfoil (EWM) locations, remove invasive species, and develop a DNR-required Aquatic Plant Management Plan.
Please complete the survey by March 14, 2026.
Although the survey is designed for online completion, but you can request a printed version of the survey by emailing . A printed copy of survey will be mailed to you along with a self-addressed postage paid envelope.
