On a Sad Note

We are sorry to inform you that Al Payson recently passed away.  Al was a big supporter of the Sylvan Otter Association.  Back in the day he passed out newsletters, helped establish a lake level, and Al was the one who started the goose round up program many years ago to help keep our beaches, docks, and lawns cleaner.  Al always had a smile on his face and a great story to tell.  He will be missed.  Our thoughts are with his wife, Pat and their family during these difficult times.

Weed Control

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.
