Filter nutrients and pollutants from surface runoff before entering the lake.

Restricted Cutting – Lakeshore
Lakeshore cutting of vegetation is restricted within 75’ of the shoreline (Village Ordinance 6.09). Trees, shrubs and other natural vegetation enhance shore aesthetics, promotes wildlife, and filters water run-off. The water quality of any lake is directly affected by its shoreline.
The Chenequa shores of Pine, Beaver and North Lake have traditionally resembled northern Wisconsin rather than the more common "house and lawn" look of the surrounding lakes. Please keep our lakes clear and clean by promoting naturalized shorelines.
Natural shorelines function to:
|
Filter nutrients and pollutants from surface runoff before entering the lake. |
|
Stabilize shorelines and upland slopes. |
|
Preserve privacy, screen unsightly view and frame good ones. |
|
Block geese movement from the lake. |
