Welcome To Wisconsin’s Lovely Cable and Wiley Lakes
Every year nature lovers enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming alongside the lake's bounty of fish, and resident loons. We encourage you to care for the lake to maintain its pristine waters. The Cable Lake Association is a small group of dedicated volunteers whose primary mission is to preserve and maintain water purity and clarity.

In addition, a watercraft image capture system supplements in-person monitoring. Please practice clean boat protocol every time you launch to protect all lakes and rivers.

  • Cable Lake utilizes I-LIDS Surveillance, an Internet Landing Installed Device Sensor. The camera at the landing is motion activated and records boat launches and retrievals. Any suspected violations are reported to the sheriff.  The landing camera also captures the numbers and license plate details of every boat launch and boat landing at the Cable Lake landing. This information is used should violations occur.
