A tree came down from my lakefront property into the lake. Can I remove it?

The short answer is "Yes, without a permit, by the riparian (Property Owner) or their designee". There are, of course, exceptions and recommendations surrounding this.

Here's the link to the information, as provided by WDNR:

Is it true that the public can walk on my shoreline to access the lake?

The right to use the exposed shoreline applies only to rivers and streams. On lakes and flowages, the requirement remains that users must be in the water with no right to use the exposed shoreline without the owner's consent.

I'm thinking of building adjacent to the lake. What are the rules?

Be sure to check with the applicable Zoning Office for your County (Langlade or Oconto). Langlade Couny has published an excellent guide available HERE
