Topics
We have compiled a variety of subjects to keep you informed, keep you safe and to ensure year around enjoyment of lakes.
Boater Safety
Boating accident statistics compiled by the U.S. Coast Guard indicate that 90 percent of the people who drown in a boating or water accident would be alive today if they had been wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident.
Fishing
Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Walleye.
Weed Control
When do we spray? We are often asked to publish the dates we will be spraying the lake. There are many factors that go into making that decision that prohibit a definitive time frame. Weather is one of the biggest factors.
Boating Etiquette
Remember, all boat traffic is in a counter-clockwise direction and all canals are no wake – no wake means no white water behind your boat. Continue to be respectful of your lake residents and fellow boaters.
Jetski/PWC
Those less than 14 years of age may not legally operate a personal watercraft (PWC) (ie. jet ski,
wave runner).
