CLPA Statement on Lake Safety & Ordinance Enforcement

We’ve seen recent Facebook posts raising concerns about violations of the Town of Belle Plaine’s new ordinance restricting artificial wake enhancements (Ordinance No. 2025-6).

CLPA does not enforce boating laws – we are not a policing body. Our role is to educate, monitor, and support efforts that keep our lakes safe and healthy.

At a recent board meeting, the CLPA Board voted to fully endorse Ordinance No. 2025-6, as it aligns with our mission to “preserve our lakes for future generations.”

>  If you see a violation: Please report boating violations directly to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department at (715) 524-2690, as they are the proper authority to investigate.

>  Get involved: CLPA is volunteer-led. Join us at our monthly meetings (scroll down from here to see details and meeting minutes) or connect with a board member to learn more.

Our lakes are a shared resource, and it takes all of us – working through the proper channels – to protect them for years to come.
