The Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Board is responsible for administering the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, a scenic stretch of land that extends 92.3 miles from Prairie du Sac to the Mississippi River. Created in 1989, the Riverway encompasses 95,893 acres and is governed by a board composed of local residents and elected officials from the affected counties. The board ensures the protection of the Riverway's aesthetic integrity through the implementation of performance standards and the regulation of various activities.
With a focus on preserving the natural and cultural resources of the Riverway, the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Board administers a land acquisition program and requires permits for structures, timber harvesting, utility facilities, and other activities. The board's efforts aim to maintain the beauty and integrity of this historic area, which was established through a compromise between legislators from both political parties.
