Wake Enhancement Ordinance Background Articles – February 2025

Minong and Wascott Town boards are considering an ordinance to restrict wake enhancement boats from operating in what is called ballast mode which creates a prop wash over 30 feet down in the water column (Minong Flowage has an average depth of 9 feet).  Thirty-four towns in Wisconsin have passed a similar ordinance and several neighboring towns to Minong and Wascott are currently intending to pass an ordinance or are giving it serious consideration.

Who we are: 

The Minong Flowage Association (MFA) is a non-profit organization whose lake property owners have a common goal to help maintain the quality of our precious water, surrounding shorelines and the lake life we cherish.

We serve as a voice for lake property owners providing an avenue for input of ideas and concerns. The MFA Board holds quarterly meetings to:

    • Review and take action on property owner input
    • Give guidance on how to adhere to DNR, county and state regulations
    • Provide administrative efforts for grant applications which fund programs to keep our water clean and our community safe
    • Create communications to property owners via email, our website as well as Facebook

 

Through the efforts of our association, we have received over $400k in grants over the last decade. These funds have helped numerous efforts to help preserve and manage our lake quality and surrounding shorelines.
