ELITE Lake Real Estate

Blue Spring Lake

Blue Spring Lake is a 136-acre lake made in 1928 by a dam on Spring Creek, just outside Palmyra in the Southern Kettle Moraine. The whole lake is in the Town of Palmyra, and almost all of its shore is one long subdivision of lake lots. The Blue Spring Lake Management District owns the dam, cuts weeds and runs the lake's sewer service. The Blue Spring Lake Ski Club puts on water ski shows through the summer, and the Town bans ballast tanks, wake fins and other wake-enhancing setups on the lake.

Getting on the water without lake rights

The Town of Palmyra owns the public launch off South Shore Drive: one concrete lane, reached by backing about 265 feet down a fire lane, with no parking. Launch fees under the Town's 2026 ordinance are $8 a day or $40 a season for boats under 26 feet, and $20 a day or $200 a season for larger boats, paid at the lock box. Kayaks, canoes and paddleboards carried in need no launch fee. No boats may be tied to the ramp from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
