Friends of Lake Kegonsa Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1988 whose primary objectives are:

 

• To protect, maintain, and enhance environmental and recreational values at Lake Kegonsa and its surroundings;

• To organize and conduct activities intended to maintain or improve the ecology, water quality, fishing, and recreational use of Lake Kegonsa;

• To obtain and provide information to FOLKS members regarding lake concerns.

​

FOLKS works closely with Dane County, the WI Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the UW Limnology Department, the Clean Lakes Alliance (CLA), and the Rock River Coalition (RRC) .

We focus on water quality and water levels. FOLKS has a group of volunteers that monitor the lake for clarity and take water samples for quality analysis on a regular basis.  This allows us to build a scientific database of measurements for Lake Kegonsa.
