Did you get your boat out on the lakes this summer? Planning to this Fall? Whether you captain a kayak or a cigar boat, we want to hear from you! Recreational lake use is extremely critical to the health of our local economy, and it’s something you enjoy. So, here is your chance to improve your recreational experience on the Winnebago System. 

The Winnebago Waterways Program is asking recreational water users to complete a questionnaire that will help us understand how the Winnebago system could be improved. We need your response to help make the most effective changes.

Your response is critical to improving your recreational experience on your lakes!

We have prepared one questionnaire that is specific to power boat users and one that is specific to paddlers. Feel free to complete both questionnaires if it so applies! The buttons below will take you to the survey of your choice.

Your input will be incorporated into a Lake Management Plan (LMP) for the Winnebago System. The goal of the Lake Management Planning project is to develop a regional framework for cooperation to restore and protect the health of the Winnebago Lakes. The Winnebago Waterways Program is working with Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Calumet, and Waushara Counties as well as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the public at large to develop the plan.

Thanks for your time and interest,

The Winnebago Waterways Team
