Lowering Notice
Regarding the lake lowering…
As we continue lowering the lake, we would like to remind everyone that it is against our rules and regulations and also against the law to dump anything in the lake or on the exposed shoreline. This includes, but is not limited to leaves and lawn clippings. If you are caught, you will be fined by CLCC and reported to local authorities. We are working diligently to improve the health of the lake and polluting the lake works against our efforts.
Lowering of the Lake 2022
The 2022 lake lowering has begun!
The lake lowering has begun today (10/19). We will continue to lower the lake to the permitted depth of 24"-30" at the dam over the next two weeks. We hope that the lake will be down to that depth by November 1st.
Thank you!
Lowering Update
An update regarding the lowering of the lake.
The lake lowering will be delayed for a few days as the lake level is exceptionally high and we do not want to push too much water through the dam and stream.
We are asking that if you see the contractor at the dam to please NOT take pictures or videos. A few years ago someone tried to remove/vandalize boards and showing the process of how they are properly removed may encourage this/give away the process.
Thank you all for your patience.
Lake Lowering, Etc.
Steps to take before the lake is lowered in November.
Reminder: We will begin to lower the Lake incrementally on October 15th. The Lake is required to be lowered to its desired depth by November 1st. We are lowering the lake by approximately 24"-30" at the dam. If you have not done so already, please remove your boats from the water immediately. It is up to the property owners' discretion if they are to remove their docks or not. In addition, please remove all boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. from the boat racks on the East Beach and West beach by November 1st. Thank you!

Lily Pad Treatment
Information on the latest lake treatment.
We received a lily pad treatment of roundup custom in the cove areas today (9/27). There are no water use restrictions but we ask that everyone avoid boating in these areas for the next 24-48 hours. Although late in the season, this treatment will help us get a jump start on next year as the treatment is systemic.
Again, we appreciate your patience through this difficult season.

The Latest Lake Treatment
Information on the latest lake treatment on September 12, 2022.
Aquatic Analysts were on the lake this morning 9/12/22 treating with Copper Sulfate. There are no water restrictions.
The Lake Resource Committee and Aquatic Analysts have been aware of the Algae bloom for over a week, but low oxygen levels prevented a treatment last week.
In addition, the lake has flipped (cold water goes to the bottom, warmer water from the bottom comes up), which is the reason for the reduced visibility and the "lake odor". This is part of the natural cycle of the lake.
As always, we appreciate your patience as we work through a tough season.
