Dear Friends of the Lake,
As you are probably aware, there is a small amount of Eurasian Water Milfoil (EWM) in Lake 1 but not in Lakes 2 and 3.
In an effort to control the growth and spreading of this aquatic invasive species, a DNR approved herbicide treatment will occur on 10 acres of Lake 1 in mid-June. The official Public Notice, dates and a map showing the area to be treated appear below.
We will continue to keep you apprised of the treatment results. Thank you for your ongoing support.
