Of course, the key to our lakes health is the actions of all our members: Controlling erosion on their properties and roads; Removing all plants and debris from all boats and equipment; Limiting wake to protect other people, our shoreline, and property (state law requires minimum wake within 200′ of land).
Our members enjoy swimming, boating, fishing and other water sports during the summer and ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and skating on the lakes all winter.
