In the fall of 2024 a new invasive species of aquatic plant has shown itself to us on Eagle Spring Lake.  This new invader is called Starry Stonewort (SSW) and has the ability to stop your boat dead in its tracks.   A brief shoreline survey was done and has been found in at least 3 other areas of our lake.  This was a limited shoreline survey search done in late October; click on the following link to see the survey report.  October 21, 2024 SSW report.  For more information of what SSW looks like, visit the DNR website at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Invasives/fact/StarryStonewort.  DNR presentation at the Lake District's 10-15-2024 meeting is available here.

PLEASE REVERSE YOUR MOTOR WHEN EXITING PICKERAL BAY TO REMOVE ANY STARRY STONEWORT OR EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL THAT MAY BE ATTACHED.

THANK YOU!
