Great Lone Lake facts for you

by Dave Scott

LLPOA wouldn’t exist without water.

Lake Levels facts

Fall 2021— 13” below Spring 2021 level
May 2022— 4.5” below Spring 2021 (snow & precipitation brought the lake up 8.5”)
June 2022— 2” above Spring 2021 (a rainy spring)
August 2022– 2” below Spring 2021 (lost 4” over the summer)

Lake level summary……Lake levels go up and down, fall of 2022 is down, not as badly as 2021, but we will hope for good fall and winter precipitation amounts.

Water Clarity

June 8, 2022. Deepest Secchi disc reading 30.5’
August 25, 2022. 23.5’ Secchi disc

Please continue your efforts to haul out dead leaves, maintain a 6’ strip of natural land near the shoreline, and keep chemicals away from the lake.

(The Secchi disc is black and white. Lowered into the water, we watch it carefully until the water makes it too cloudy to see. Nothing techie. A true snapshot of clarity in Lone Lake.)

Veligers

(A precursor to zebra mussels)

Lone Lake is tested as we are an “uninfested” lake.

No signs of them as of August.

Let’s keep it that way.

Shoreline Stabilization Program

Only one participant this year for the two year grant to expire 10/23.

With our lakeshore volunteers, we were able to complete our part of the grant with volunteer hours of in-kind labor.

Consider applying for assistance for your lakeshore in 2023. Email now if possibly interested. lonelakepoa@gmail.com

Check your lakeshore for stability this fall.
