Franklin Lake is more than just a lake, it is a place of beauty, peace, and connection for generations of people that live in and travel to the Northwoods. Its waters and shores have welcomed campers, hikers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts for decades. The lake has given us a place of community, memories, and traditions that carry on through the years.

But TODAY, Franklin Lake needs OUR help. The lake’s ecology is in decline with the walleye and rare inland whitefish are on the verge of extinction. Without action, we risk losing not only the wildlife Franklin Lake is home to, but also future opportunities to experience the lake in ways that bring us back year after year to this special place.

This fundraiser will support vital conservation efforts, including a walleye spawning reef that will rebuild and protect Franklin Lake’s walleye and whitefish populations forever. By coming together as a community, we can give back to the lake that has given so much to us all and make a positive difference.

YOU can make a difference TODAY — every gift, every time you tell a friend or family member about our project, every business you share our cause with — ALL helps ensure Franklin Lake’s fish, wildlife, and natural beauty will be protected for future generations.
