Clean Boats, Clean Waters Watercraft Inspection Program
We are in need of Lake Monitor workers (boat inspectors)! The Town of Namakagon monitors three boat landings: Funny’s Bay, County Hwy D and Lakewoods. We monitor on the weekends and during the busy times of the year, i.e. July 4th, Memorial Day, Fishing Opener, etc. We provide all the training that you need. Boat inspectors help perform boat and trailer checks, hand out informational brochures and educate boaters on how to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. It is an interactive job with many boaters coming and going from the lake.
With the growing concern over the spread of aquatic invasive species to Wisconsin’s inland lakes, many lake association members and other concerned citizens are looking for ways to get involved. The Clean Boats, Clean Waters watercraft inspection program is an opportunity to take a front-line defense against the spread of aquatic invasive species.
If you are interested in being a boat inspector, please contact the Town Clerk. The schedule is done in April for the entire year and is changed as needed during the year. As a boat inspector, you get to choose when you work. You can work once a month, every other weekend, a particular day every week or every other week – it is up to you!
We need you! We currently only have 5 workers. Come join our team as we help defend our lakes against invasive species!
