A message from the board
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.
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.
