The Issue

Preserve the Right to Wake Boat on Lake Beulah
Lake Beulah in East Troy, WI, has long been a treasured space for recreation, family gatherings, and enjoyment of water sports. As property owners and members of the community, we believe in maintaining a balanced approach that respects all users of this beautiful lake while preserving the activities that make it special.

Recently, efforts by Protect Lake Beulah and the Lake Beulah Management District seek to impose a ban on wake boating. We understand and value the importance of lake preservation, but banning wake boating outright is an extreme measure that undermines the rights of lake users and ignores potential compromise solutions.

Why This Matters

Wake Boating is a Valued Tradition: Wake boating fosters community, provides enjoyment for families, and supports local businesses that cater to water sports enthusiasts.
Economic Impact: Many local businesses depend on lake activities, including wake boating. Banning wake boats could have far-reaching economic consequences for East Troy and surrounding areas.
A Balanced Solution is Possible: Instead of an outright ban, measures such as designated wake zones, time restrictions, or education programs for responsible boating can protect the lake while allowing all users to coexist.
Fairness for All Lake Users: Lake Beulah is a shared resource, and decisions about its use should reflect the interests and rights of the entire community, not just select groups.


What We’re Asking
We urge Protect Lake Beulah, the Lake Beulah Management District, and the Town of East Troy to reconsider the proposed wake boating ban. We advocate for a collaborative approach that prioritizes lake preservation while respecting the rights of all who love and enjoy Lake Beulah.

Join Us
Sign this petition to stand against the ban and for a fair, balanced, and inclusive solution that ensures the lake remains a place for everyone to enjoy responsibly.

Together, we can protect the future of Lake Beulah while preserving its vibrant community and traditions.

Responded
Dear Petition Supporters, Our decision maker outreach team was able to contact Supervisor Stanek who was happy to discuss the petition and share more information. Supervision Stanek wanted to relay a couple of important details: 1) There are a number of governing bodies that have jurisdiction on this issue, including the Lake Beulah Management District and the Town of East Troy. 2) If the issue will ever involve the Board of Supervisors, it often will require a number of steps and recommendations from other authorities before the board can consider the issue. We hope this information relayed from Supervisor Stanek is helpful. Jason and the Decision Maker Outreach team
