- In addition to the definitions in s. NR 51.002 , the following definition applies to this subchapter: "Wild lake" means a lake or flowage of at least 5 acres, or significant portions thereof, identified in the Wisconsin register of waterbodies, where human influence, such as structural development of its shorelands, is not significant or can be removed at costs deemed warranted by the department. If the waterbody is not found in the Wisconsin register of waterbodies database, department staff will make a determination on whether to add the waterbody to the register as a lake or flowage.

The fact that a lake is located in proximity to an urban area does not exclude it from the definition of wild lake.
