The focus of the lake association has always been to PRESERVE or improve the quality of the lake. A lake management plan was discussed by the association as early as January, 1996.
And in 2003 at the annual meeting, the board was asked to look into the possibility of developing a lake management plan for Van Vliet Lake. Blue Water Science was selected to work with the association on this process.
In February, 2004 a grant request was filed with the DNR which was approved in May. Studies were conducted throughout the summer of 2004. A final report from the consultant was presented at the 2005 annual meeting. That report is attached.
Now some 20 years later, this summer, in August 2026, the lake will undergo a surface water study. Look for the details of this study forthcoming.
