Powers Lake

Powers Lake is about 450 acres with roughly 4.6 miles of shoreline, straddling the Kenosha and Walworth county line. The Town of Randall has about two thirds of the shore, the Village of Bloomfield about a quarter and the Town of Wheatland the rest. A lake district, the District of Powers Lake, works on shoreline and water quality.
