Take a Stake in the Lakes Days
Formerly Yahara Lakes Week
Take a Stake in the Lakes Days
(formerly Yahara Lakes Week) was initiated
by the Dane County Lakes & Watershed Commission to focus
public attention on our water resources, raising awareness
of the importance of the lakes in our quality of life and
the ways in which our lives affect the quality of the lakes.
During Take a Stake in the Lakes Days, the Commission highlights any
and all activities happening in, on and around Dane County’s
water resources. The Dane County Lakes & Watershed Commission
collects information about all events happening in, on and
around the Madison Lakes during Take a Stake in the Lakes Days (which
is generally around the second week in June). The Commission
then promotes these events through a calendar, mass media
notices, press conferences, editorials, press releases and
more. As we direct the public’s attention to the variety
of activities and opportunities our lakes present, we also
provide information on how to protect our lakes and use
them responsibly. Over the years, dozens of organizations
and thousands of individuals have taken part in Take a Stake in the Lakes Days.
