The Town of Spider Lake Boating Ordinance Ad Hoc Committee (BOAHC) presented its findings and recommendations to the town board of supervisors on February 26, 2025. Spider Chain of Lakes is ONE OF ONLY 97 Wisconsin lakes with the HIGHEST WATER QUALITY designation.
Fewer than 1% of Wisconsin lakes are classified with this high designation.
The uniquely high quality of Spider Lake helped drive the recommendations, including:
- Enact an ordinance to prohibit wake surfing and all activities that use “enhanced wakes” in the Town of Spider Lake
- Retain the hours for water skiing on the Spider Chain of Lakes: 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
- Enforcement: focus on education, evaluation of key components, and implementation of a plan that meets the needs of the town
