Bullhead Lake Comprehensive Management Plan Approval Letter
Approval letter from WDNR to the Bullhead Lake Advancement Association for the Bullhead Lake Comprehensive Management Plan.
Bullhead Lake Comprehensive Management Plan
Bullhead Lake is located within the Town of Rockland in western Manitowoc County, WI. The lake is located in the Lower Manitowoc River watershed, which is dominated by agricultural land use. Surrounding row crop agriculture has degraded the lake’s water quality and the WDNR lists the lake as impaired due to excessive algae growth and mercury. The lake is also on the 303(d) listing for phosphorus and mercury.
