Annual fall road clean-up. Please come join your neighbors to clean area roads for the long winter ahead. Start with some coffee and rolls provided by Paulbeck’s Market. Less than an hour later you will have joined others in cleaning a section of road surrounding Lone Lake.

Oot of town that weekend? Let us know and you can help by cleaning a section earlier or later than the scheduled date. The more the merrier. (Lonelakepoa@gmail.com)

Fall reminders

…..help avoid Lone Lake becoming a new member of the AIS club.

Select professional help with your lake items from companies that clean their equipment before entering a new lake. Here’s a source for DNR permitted service providers
Dry equipment 7-10-15 days before putting it in Lone Lake or moving it into another lake.
Reduce runoff that contains nutrients, eroded soil sediments, bacteria, etc. by allowing water to flow over green space before entering the lake.
Maintain that buffer zone near the lake. Native plants and natural vegetation will help now and in the spring. Long roots keep the soil more stable. (Grass has short roots!)
Continue to travel at no wake speeds when near shore or at a depth of less than 15’.
Check your own water equipment as it comes out of the lake. Anything “stuck” to it? See the zebra mussels images below for better identification.
