Minerva Chain of Lakes Survey

The Minerva Chain of Lakes Association is partnering with the Burnett County Land and Water Department in developing a Lake Management Plan for the Chain of Lakes. Lake users and landowners are invited to participate in a lake user survey to help guide the Minerva Chain of Lakes management process for 2026-2027. Your input is essential to understanding how the lakes are used today and what priorities should guide future protection and improvement efforts.

The survey walks you through questions about residency, how you use the lakes, and how you manage your property for lake stewardship. It also asks about concerns related to water quality, water levels, aquatic plant growth, and ways you may want to be involved in this project and future monitoring, protection, and implementation efforts. 

This survey takes approximately 15 to 40 minutes to complete. You may step away and return at any time — your responses will be saved. More than one individual in a household can take the survey as all can have differing opinions on concerns, priorities and goals, however, individuals may only take the survey once, so make the first attempt count! 

Participation can be anonymous, or you may choose to provide contact information at the end of you'd like to receive emails, workshop invitations, or future project updates. 

Again, YOUR feedback will play a key role in shaping the lake management goals and actions for the years ahead. Although these lakes are connected, each should be treated differently and with your input we can make that possible. 

By following this link, you're taking the next step in protecting the Minerva Chain of Lakes.

For any questions regarding the survey, the project in general or to see where you can help, please contact Emily Moore at emily.moore@burnettcountywi.gov or 715-349-2157 Ext 2139.
