Welcome to the Wisconsin Association of Lakes

The Wisconsin Association of Lakes is the only statewide non-profit organization working to protect and enhance the quality of Wisconsin's 15,000 lakes. WAL is the citizen arm of the Wisconsin Lakes Partnership.

WAL works toward statewide solutions for the challenges faced by many lakes while supporting strong local protection efforts.

We represent citizens and lake groups like you who care about Wisconsin lakes as a natural resource, and who appreciate the value that lakes bring to our quality of life, tourist economy, and property tax base.

WAL seeks to protect the natural wonder of our lakes, and preserve our collective right to boat, fish, hunt, ice skate, swim and enjoy the scenic beauty of our shared public waters.
