North Lake public access project starts next summer
By Don Behm of the Journal Sentinel
Nov. 6, 2009 4:23 p.m. | Construction of the first public access to North Lake in Waukesha County is scheduled for summer 2010, a state Department of Natural Resources official said Friday.
The 437-acre lake is the largest water body in the county without public access, said Jim Ritchie, DNR public waterways access coordinator.
The DNR purchased the former Whitey Krause property on Reddelien Road in the Town of Merton for $1.125 million in 2005. The 6.5-acre parcel includes 233 feet of frontage on the northwest shore of the lake, Ritchie said.
Construction of the access site, with boat ramp, dock and parking lot for 16 vehicles and trailers will cost $475,000.
"Development of this property will ensure that anglers and recreational boaters have permanent year-round public access for open water and ice fishing on North Lake," Ritchie said. "There's been a strong demand for access to this lake for many years."
