A message from the board

2024 is shaping up to be a busy year for everyone on Lake Irene. Here are a few of the highlights:

Year 3 of the 5-year LIPA/DNR lake vegetation management plan is underway. Fundraising for treatment of curly leaf pondweed is occurring now. Plans are to treat the areas permitted via a curly leaf pondweed delineation survey conducted this spring by the DNR.


Thin ice, no snow, early ice out, low water levels and lots of sun are positioning 2024 to be a high growth year for vegetation. These conditions make treatment of the lake and raising the necessary funds even more critical than usual.


The social committee is planning a number of events for this summer. 


  • Beach ball out over Memorial weekend and summer weekends
  • Night at the Winery - June 21
  • Light up the night - June 22
  • Boat parade - July 4 @ 3 pm
  • Special floaty for July 4th holiday
  • Miltona Tornado Days parade float - July 20
  • Light up the night - July 20
  • Light up the night - August 17

LIPA is working with the DNR to plan for the release of walleye fingerlings this fall. We are requesting a higher stocking than normal given we had a couple of recent years when rearing pond freezeouts caused cancellation of stocking.
