Access to Lac La Belle Boat Launch

Although Wisconsin Avenue is being reconstructed in front of the Lac LaBelle boat launch, located at 324 W. Wisconsin Avenue, the launch will still be accessible to the public most of the time. There may be times during the construction process that the access is unavailable due to the installation of watermain, storm sewer or new concrete driveways and sidewalks. The traffic plans for this area of the project call for one lane of traffic in each way to be available for use. Cautioned is urged, as the single lanes will decrease the turning room for a vehicle with a boat trailer attached.

In order to ensure the launch will be open on the weekends, the contractor is required to provide access to the site from 3 PM on Friday until 7 AM on Monday. As stated above, access is available during the weekdays although not guaranteed due to the need to replace utilities and reconstruct the street.

With the current closure of Wisconsin Avenue at Worthington Street, the access to the Community Center and boat launch is available only from the west.

All boaters should be aware of the Slow – No Wake postings at both Fowler Lake and Lac Labelle. With the recent heavy rains, lake levels are well above normal which prompted action by the City of Oconomowoc for Fowler Lake and unanimous action by the City, Village of Lac Labelle and Town of Oconomowoc for Lac Labelle. The Slow – No Wake will be enforced until the water levels recede to an acceptable level.

Boat trailer parking has never been allowed in the boat launch parking lot. This has not changed. Please pay close attention to any parking restrictions for parking lots or on street parking.

Fowler Lake – NO-WAKE

 

Per City Ordinance 02-0536, I, Mayor Maury Sullivan have determined that the conditions as outlined in our ordinance for a Slow No-Wake Speed at time of high water have been met. 

A Slow No-Wake Speed has been declared and is in effect until further notice. 

This means that no person shall operate a motor boat at speeds in excess of slow no-wake on Fowler Lake for a period commencing two hours after a high water condition has been declared until the declaration is repealed. 

This ordinance shall be posted on the public boat launch site on Fowler Lake.
