A Year to Remember…
Hazard Buoy Update
Thanks to the efforts of John Travaglini and Ryan Vincent, the 7 buoys in Drag Lake were deployed on Saturday.
Another reminder to avoid the Eurasian Milfoil weed bed off Harris Beach. This invasive species can spread easily and reports are already being received of pieces being seen floating in other parts of our lakes.

Fishing over Milfoil Bed
We have recently received reports that fishermen are again boating into the weed bed area off Harris Beach which has been designated by surrounding buoys. It is very important to remember that Eurasian Milfoil is an Invasive Species that spreads very rapidly when separated by a propellor or fishing line. We have similar weed particles reported as having drifted into East Bay recently. This could result in spread of the weed elsewhere in Drag & Spruce . The result, as happened in the Kawarthas & elsewhere, is clogged waterways & lower property values!
