The Des Moines Lake Association is a local, not-for-profit, non-political group made up of property owners from the village of Webb Lake and the area surrounding Des Moines Lake. We are dedicated to protecting the natural environmental health and beauty of Des Moines Lake and surrounding community. We also monitor developments which affect the environment of Des Moines Lake and co-operate with other associations having similar objectives.

Des Moines Lake is located in the community of Webb Lake, Wisconsin. At 229 acres and a max depth of 37 feet, it is one of the clearest lakes around and it offers it's residences and guests a beautiful year-round playground. The previous name was Sucker Lake. Lumber barons from Des Moines came here looking for white pine to build homes in the early 1900's across the midwest. These lumber barons saw our lake in the process and found it beautiful and they built the first cabins here at that time.

With the 4th of July falling in the middle of the week this year, a lot of people have been asking if the celebrations will be held on the weekend before or after the 4th.

At this point, even though the Lake Association is not currently active, the people that are interested in doing the boat parade are planning on meeting at the landing at 5:00 on Saturday, July 7th.

As far as the larger firework displays go, the majority of chatter also points to that same Saturday. Regardless of when you decide to celebrate the holiday, please have fun but do so responsibly.

The Town Board is making it easy for us to clean up "junk" in the lake and "stuff" around the lake such as old docks that are no longer used. All you have to do to participate is get the items to the boat landing and call John Kielkerski at 715-259-7284. It will be removed at no charge. Please note, this does not include stuff around our houses, cabins, and yards. The object here is to clean up our lake and shoreline.

The Town Board is making this benefit available to all lakeshore owners within the township. This was been done on Long Lake last year and 4 truckloads of "stuff/garbage" were hauled away. Please pass this information to others on our lake who may not be viewing the website.
