Welcome to

Bear Lake

Barron & Washburn Counties, Wisconsin

















Welcome to Bear Lake! The Bear Lake Association is an organization committed to preserving and protecting the watershed and ecosystems of Bear Lake in Barron and Washburn Counties, near Haugen, WI.

Our goal for this website is to be a place where people can find current and archival information about Bear Lake and the Association, and to help area residents be informed and engaged on issues affecting the lake.


Most information can be found in the links across the top of the page, organized by topic. Please check Events & Information for upcoming association events and other events in the local area.


Like the Association itself, input from the Bear Lake community is what will make this website most impactful and effective. Please Contact Us with any suggestions you may have to improve this site.

Thank you for your interest in Bear Lake!Â
