How Lake Kegonsa Got Its Name
Early area settlers referred to Lake Kegonsa as “First Lake” because it was the first of the four Madison lakes ”Kegonsa, Waubesa, Monona and Mendota” they encountered traveling north up the Yahara River.
The name Kegonsa is attributed to the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Indians who once lived in this area. Kegonsa means “Lake of Many Fishes” Today, Lake Kegonsa is still one of Wisconsin’s most productive fishing lakes.
We have a Fishery Committee. Their goal is to make sure Lake Kegonsa remains a great place to fish for years to come. They will meet with various agencies and concerned individuals to see what can be done to reduce harmful runoff, preserve breeding habitats, protect the lake from invasive species and to look into lake stocking plans.
The Aquatic Plant Management Committee is concerned with reducing invasive and harmful aquatic plants. This is a major concern for almost everyone who enjoys spending time on the lake. The Aquatic Plant Committee has been in close contact with Dane County and DNR officials regarding future plans for weed control here at Lake Kegonsa.
We have one group actively involved in the Fishcamp Breakwater Project. The breakwater originally at the mouth of the Yahara River eroded several years ago and since then we have been trying get approval for a new breakwater. Although we ran into some technical difficulties last year, we are hopeful our new plans will be accepted by the DNR and construction can be started soon.
Of universal concern to most riparian owners, are the proposed regulations regarding piers and boat lifts. The Rules and Regulation Committee have very diligently been tracking the progress of these regulations over the past year.
The Communication and Education Committee has produced the newsletter for years and has now brought you this web site. Of special interest to most of the newsletter readers are the historical articles provided by Doug Pfundheller. This year we were also happy to host a Boater Safety class for FOLKS members.
As always, we are interested in what you have to say. If you have ideas or information you can share, please let us know.
