The People Behind Lake Puckaway Preservation

The People behind Lake Puckaway's preservation

Located in central Wisconsin, Lake Puckaway (also known as Puckaway Lake) is a 9×2 mile shallow lake encompassing 5433 acres of water lake and one of the state’s largest lakes.

With a maximum depth of only 5 feet, the fairly irregular-shaped Lake Puckaway is known for its abundant fish population, particularly for walleye, northern pike, and bass. It is also popular for boating, water skiing, and other water sports and has several public boat landings.

The preservation of Lake Puckaway is a point of pride for area residents, and the Lake Puckaway Protection Rehabilitation District, created in 1977, is responsible for keeping the Lake a healthy environment for fish and wildlife and a vibrant recreational destination for visitors.

 Lake Puckaway Protection and Rehabilitation District’s mission is to:

  • Preserve the recreational and economic value of the resource for the enjoyment of its residents and visitors, now and into the future.

  • Protect and enhance the quality of Lake Puckaway’s fish and wildlife values;

  • Promote ecologically balanced water levels, water clarity, and shoreline habitat.

  • Promote the history and proper management of the lake. 

  • Promote the education, research, and information sharing between organizations, individuals, government bodies and the general public for the protection, preservation and improvement of Lake Puckaway.
