LAKE WINNEBAGO—Boaters on Lake Winnebago will have a much easier time navigating the boat launch system this summer, thanks to a three-county boat pass pilot project. Boaters who regularly access Lake Winnebago from Winnebago, Fond du Lac or Calumet county launches will only need to acquire one boat launch parking permit for 2014. The 2014 Annual 3-County Lake Winnebago Boat Landing Parking Permit will provide access in the 2014 season to boat docks at Osh-O-Nee, Asylum, Black Wolf, Highway 45 Wayside, Columbia, Brothertown, Stockbridge and Calumet County Park. The idea for the shared pass came from “Weigh in on the Winnebago Waterways”, a public input project that was started in 2013. “Weigh-in on the Winnebago Waterways” is a collaborative project in a five county area— Calumet, Fond du Lac, Outagamie, Waushara and Winnebago. This group is dedicated to protecting our local lakes, rivers and economy,” said Allen Buechel, Fond du Lac County Executive. “Together, we’ve been gathering public opinion input on the needs facing our waters and possible solutions. The shared boat pass idea came out of that public input process.” The Winnebago Waterways collaboration is currently funded by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to the Winnebago Lakes Council, and includes a Steering Team with representatives from each county as well as members of the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, East Central Regional Planning Commission, the Winnebago Lakes Council and the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance. “Through this public input process, we learned about the many ways people are using the waterways and their top concerns for the future of these lakes and rivers. By understanding the needs and priorities of the system’s users, the team is now working together to help government entities identify areas for policy coordination,” said Allen Buechel, Fond du Lac County Executive. “The shared boat pass was an obvious area for coordination that we could work on immediately
