Bear Lake Association

The Bear Lake Association is a group of area residents who work together to preserve and protect Bear Lake, its watershed, and its ecosystems. Working in partnership with the DNR, UW-Extension, and other stakeholders, the Association has worked to monitor water quality, promote awareness of invasive species, encourage responsible boating, improve fish stocks, and promote good stewardship of shoreland habitat.


The Association has a seven-member Board, elected by the membership. The Board meets approximately 4 times per year. In addition, there is an Annual General Membership Meeting each June, and an Association Picnic each August.Â
