SCLA president Larry Keller announced the first ever Spider Chain of Lakes Comprehensive Lake Management Plan (CLMP) in an email to SCLA members on Nov. 1st. The plan has a 10-year horizon and addresses lake water quality, habitat, aquatic invasive species prevention, and the social framework to support the long-term health of the lakes. The Spider Chain of Lakes includes Clear Lake, Fawn Lake, North Lake and Big and Little Spider Lake in Sawyer County. The plan will be implemented from 2022 through 2032. Larry sent an email to SCLA members to announce the completion of the draft available for public comment until November 30, 2021.
With this CLMP, SCLA joins a growing list of Wisconsin lake associations and lake districts that are planning for the future in cooperation with the Wisconsin DNR and local agencies such as its partners in Sawyer County.
A copy of the plan is available on this website, along with additional information on the background and funding. For more information on how SCLA protects the Spider Chain of Lakes go to the Lake Management tab on this website.
Comments will be accepted through November 30, 2021. Please send comments via mail or e-mail to:

In spring 2020, the Association was awarded a $21,500 DNR grant to develop a Comprehensive Lake Management Plan to address water quality, aquatic plant management, lake habitat, and other management and social considerations for the long-term health of the Spider Chain of Lakes. The study reports are now available, and the SCLA Board is reviewing and planning the next steps. The reports are below:
