Being at the top of the Burnt River watershed, our lakes feel effects of the fall drawdown before the other lakes. As hard as we try to avoid it, the reality is that 2019 boating season is coming to a close. That means it’s time to start planning to remove our hazard buoys and replace them with the much smaller winter markers. Volunteers are needed to help make the swap. This is especially true for the seven buoys located in the northern half of Drag Lake. The effort is simply enjoying an hour out on the water driving your boat to each buoy while a member of the Navigation Committee snaps in the winter marker and snaps out the hazard buoy. Ideally you have a tin fishing boat, but a pontoon or runabout works just as well.
The removal could start as early as the week of September 16 and is weather dependent, with early morning and late afternoon usually offering the best wind conditions to perform the work.
