We strive to plan and implement projects in an effort to enhance water quality, protect important natural areas, and educate and inspire the community in ways they can help keep our cherished lake healthy and vibrant!

AQUATIC PLANT UPDATE (5/2026)

One of our main concerns is aquatic plants taking over and restricting navigable waterways. We have once again contracted with Aquatic Plant Control to treat our most heavily navigable waterways.  The DNR has been reluctant to give us the treatment acreage we would like in the wake of our hydrilla history.  Our tier two testing and the data the DNR has collected continues to ensure that we can protect the much needed plants while opening up certain navigation areas.  Below is a map of the areas we have applied for permitting for 2026 treatment.  The treatment map will be available shortly!

AQUATIC PLANT TREATMENT UPDATE

Aquatic plan life is vital to the healthy ecology of our lake. Being able to access your property from the water is important as well. We conduct plant surveys each year to ensure the healthy plant life is growing  to filter the water and provide cover for wildlife. These studies serve as evidence to the state that we can treat excessive plant life to ensure access to personal property in those areas with excessive plant growth.  We also sponsor individual sign-up programs for all channel residences for private treatments under our permitting.  In addition, we offer treatment packs for residences that prefer to treat up to 625 sq ft without permitting.   We have received approval for treatment and will keep you updated.

buoys

We are constantly monitoring our buoys. If any one has concerns or sees a damaged buoy, please reach out to a board member and we will address your concerns. Please remember - The Prairie is the 43-acre shallow area located directly east of the Moose Lodge. This area is restricted from any motor traffic in an effort to facilitate the growth of important aquatic plant life.

Navigating the Lake: Indiana law states that watercraft must maintain idle speed within 200 ft. of all shorelines. Idling inside of the buoys parallel to shore is also prohibited. Alway travel perpendicular to the shoreline when entering or exiting docks.

Please remember you must always idle inside the buoys and inside the channels.
