Starry stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa) has recently been confirmed in Lake Beulah. While it may resemble a harmless underwater plant, its biology and growth patterns make it a serious threat to small inland lakes across Wisconsin.

Zebra mussels are a very damaging aquatic invasive species in the Midwest. Once they establish in a lake, they spread quickly, disrupt ecosystems, cut swimmers’ feet, clog equipment, and can cause a large financial impact on communities for long‑term management.

Every safe lake community depends on people who are willing to notice concerns, report them early, and help prevent small problems from becoming serious incidents. Whether someone is boating, swimming, fishing, walking the shoreline, or visiting for the day, timely reporting plays an important role in keeping the lake safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.

Protect Lake Beulah is proud to congratulate our former president, Tom VanDenBogart, on being named the 2026 Wisconsin Lake Stewardship Award Winner for Excellence in Public Engagement. This recognition reflects what our community has long known: Tom’s dedication, energy, and unwavering commitment to protecting Lake Beulah have made a lasting impact on our lake and on lake stewardship statewide.

Lake Beulah has always been more than just a body of water. It’s a place where families gather, where neighbors connect, and where generations have enjoyed fishing, swimming, boating, and quiet reflection along its shores. Protecting this lake is not only about preserving its beauty today — it’s about ensuring that future generations inherit a healthy, vibrant ecosystem. Every choice we make at home and on the water contributes to the lake’s wellbeing.

Here are practical, science‑based steps you can take to keep Beulah thriving.

Do you have cabin fever after our COLD winter?  You might want to consider tapping your Maple trees soon!  Did you know that Wisconsin is the 3rd largest producer of maple syrup and maple products among US states?

I am an amateur, as this will only be my 3rd year tapping my maple trees.  I’m happy to share what I have learned and hope that others will consider tapping and/or offer their expertise!
