Help us Preserve Rooney Lake: Camp Croix Expansion
How do they affect water resources? How much is too much for our lakes and streams?

Give Our Loons Room
We were fortunate to have loon babies last year that survived and thrived. If we have more this year, remember to give the babies and parents room. To review the rules:
Please stay at least 200 feet from nests and swimming loons.
Watch out for swimming loons.
Don't approach nests, babies, or lone adults.
Babies cannot dive until they are 8 weeks old.
Slow-No Wake in bays and shorelines where loons need calm waters for nurseries
If you witness a violation of these rules, PLEASE confront the offender as they may not know the rules or that harassment of loons carry a State and Federal fine.
You may also call the DNR at 715-635-2101 or a 24-hour confidential hotline at 800-TIPWDNR (800-847-8367).

Easy On the Speed, Healthy on the Lake
With our present excessively high water levels, we will have a healthier lake--that can better fight off invasive plants--and less erosion of our lakeshore if we operate our speedboats and jet skis at high speed only in the middle/deep parts of the lake and take off and return to our docks at slower, no-wake speeds. Powerful motors in less than 15 feet of water are very destructive to the ecosystem and cause more erosion when waves have less distance to dissipate.
Check our AIS page to find out the part you play in helping to keep Rooney safe.
