Deer Lake Conservancy
The purpose of the organization is the preservation of Deer Lake and the surrounding land that contributes to the natural, recreational and productive value of the lake.
Welcome to the lake!
Deer Lake is located in western Wisconsin, five miles east of the beautiful and historic St. Croix River Valley.
The lake is spring fed both internally and externally and covers over 840 acres with a maximum depth of 46 feet. A small dam at the east end of the lake helps assure a near constant water level.
The interesting and colorful trees lining the shoreline include towering evergreens and oaks.
The Deer Lake Conservancy(DLC) preserves Deer Lake primarily through reducing runoff which carries nutrients and sediment from its surrounding watersheds. This critical effort involves acquiring land and installing conservation projects on DLC-owned and private properties. We are supported by a strong community of DLC members. We welcome your participation and support of our efforts!
Projects
For a good number of years the Conservancy, in conjunction with the Deer Lake Improvement Association, has worked toward the preservation of the lake and the surrounding land that contributes to the natural, scenic, recreational and productive value of the lake. Many individual projects have been undertaken in an effort to help achieve this goal.
