Purpose

The City of Shell Lake will conduct a 1-yr. project to increase the watercraft inspection program at the main Shell Lake public acces and Round Lake public access in accordance with the Wisconsin "Clean Boats, Clean Waters" program. The project will use paid and volunteer monitors to provide watercraft inspection seven days a week from 6am to 8pm at the Shell Lake landing and on high use weekends at the Round Lake landing.
