PRIVATE BOATS

IN AN EFFORT TO PROTECT OUR LAKES FROM THE RELENTLESS SPREAD OF EXOTIC SPECIES SUCH AS ZEBRA MUSSELS, QUAGGA MUSSELS, EURASION WATERMILLFOIL, SPINY WATER FLEAS, GOBYS, VIRAL HEMORRHAGIC SEPTICEMIA, ETC., WE HAVE CLOSED OUR BOAT LANDING.

With the ever increasing number of exotic species being detected, and the ceaseless spread of these exotics from the great lakes to heavily utilized inland waterways, and now to lesser used inland waters, we feel this is the only way we can protect our lakes.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, but we cannot allow any private boats, canoes, or kayaks on our lakes any longer. Trolling motors and outboard motors will be dipped and run in a bleach solution for several minutes.

THANK YOU, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
