Alert! Coyotes
Please be on alert — coyotes have been seen in the area. Take these few precautions.
Be advised that coyotes have been spotted in our area.
Please be sure that your pets are safe.
Fish & Wildlife offers the following tips for avoiding encounters:
- Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk.
- Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on the pet food and also prey upon the cats.
- Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over.
- Remove sources of water, especially in dry climates.
- Bring pets in at night.
- Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey.
- Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, and other farm animals.
- Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles.
- Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards.
- Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.
- Clear brush and dense weeds from around dwellings - this reduces protective cover for coyotes and makes the area less attractive to rodents and rabbits. Coyotes, as well as other predators, are attracted to areas where rodents are concentrated like woodpiles.
- If coyotes are present, make sure they know they're not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks, or spray them with a garden hose.
Community Garden
If you are interested contact Paul Rockwood as soon as possible at prockwo@gmail.com
The original plots that were laid out have all been taken. The garden has already taken form, and dozen or so residents are working like busy bees! I think if there is interest, I can squeeze out an extra plot or two. If you have been sitting on the fence about this, c'mon take the plunge you won't regret it and you will also meet some of your Lake neighbors. Again, this is the final call for you to plant and harvest your own inexpensive ORGANIC veggies!

Boating Information
Our lake regulations concerning boating and a link to the Crandon Lake boat registration form.
All boats on Crandon Lake are required to display our large, red "Crandon Lakes Country Club" stickers. There should be one of these on each side of the boat for easy visibility. The purpose of these stickers is to make sure that unauthorized people are not using our facilities.
Remember, these are permanent stickers that do not have to be replaced once they have been applied.
If you see a boat on our lake without these stickers, chances are they do not belong here. Please help out by challenging them, and calling the State Police at 973-383-1515 to report them as trespassers.
Please be courteous, and have some consideration for other residents. After launching your boat, DO NOT park your vehicle in the boat ramp.
Download the CLCC Boat Registration Form. This form should be completed and returned to the lake office. It may be dropped in the door mail slot should the office be closed.
