Information About Our Lakes

A plan has been developed under the One Watershed One Plan initiative to implement a variety of projects in the Pine River Watershed intended to make positive meaningful changes in the quality of water in the watershed of which our lakes are a part.  A small part of the total watershed plan report is appended below to give you information on the proposed implementation schedule for the projects to be undertaken.  You will note that in our sub-watershed the report reveals that one of the main objectives is to provide greater protection by acquiring conservation easements on 1187 acres of property currently forested and critical to high lake water quality.  The estimate of the cost of these easements is $285,369, $74,998 of which is already available under the Sustainable Forest Initiative Act.  See the map and report segment below for more detailed information.

RALALA is working on trying to improve the collection and dissemination of water quality information about our lakes, but some information is currently available.  Check out the documents linked below:
