In 2010, there were numerous reports of items being stolen off the boats that were moored along the shores of Eagle Spring Lake.
We are happy to let you know that the Waukesha County Police Department has apprehended several youths (no names given), that were responsible for the thefts.
We advise all residents of the lake to always remove or lock up any and all boating/fishing equipment when not in use. This includes gas tanks, batteries, life preservers, anchors, skis, inflatable rafts, fishing poles, tackle, etc.
In addition, we are also asking residents to keep a look out for any suspicious activity on the shorelines. If you see anything out of the ordinary, please contact the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department at (262) 363-6434 and report it immediately!
Your help in keeping temptation to a minimum is appreciated.

Spring Lake Management Plan
In 2011 the New Updated Lake Management Plan has been completed. The Southeastern Wisconsin Planning Commission (SEWRPC) with the help of the input from the Lake District has worked together and has completed the Updated 2011 Lake Management Plan for Eagle Spring Lake.

Spring Lake - 2011
2009 Act 31 - Slow-No-Wake Speed Restriction
2009 Senate Bill 12 was introduced to the Senate on January 21, 2009 and has been passed by both the Assembly and Senate and was signed by the governor in Act 31. A fast boating restriction of 100-feet from shorelines is in this piece of legislation and will be in effect as of February 1, 2010. Having all fast boat traffic confined to the center of the lake has brought the awareness of safety concerns.
The Lake District now (April 2010) has a exemption from this ordinance. The Town of Eagle has approved the opt-out ordinance. Therefore, there are no changes in our boating ordinances in 2010, they are the same as in 2009.
