Zebra Mussels Update I wanted to pass along three pics of some invasive species we found over the last weekend. Last two years we have found a few here and there on a few rocks and on a few sticks. This year we are finding the number of zebra mussels to have increased significantly. We are located four places down from the boat landing. Thanks,

Dues Form Now On Line Latest postcard of "downtown Lakewood" in the early 1950's If you look closely you can see the steps of the Red Owl store where I would sit with my Drumstick ice cream cone melting watching the cars drive past. Very exciting. Kurt

2022 Boot Lake Cleanup
We had a crew of 4 for our annual Boot Lake clean-up. The participants included Craig Vorpahl, Patty Bero, Bill Bero and Noah Bero-Evensen who at the age of 4 yrs old could be the youngest participant in the history of this event. We cleaned the NE shore of Boot Lake from the yellow slide to Earler's beach. We made quite a haul by filling 3/4s of a garbage bag. Nothing unusual was found. Thank you to all the participants. Bill Bero

The effects and causes of low levels of dissolved oxygen in lake water
The Boot Lake Improvement Association has purchased a dissolved oxygen (DO) meter for the purpose of providing a key missing piece of information needed to provide our on-going monitoring of our lake. Along with sampling for chlorophyll, phosphorus, temperatures, and water clarity testing, coupled with boat launch duties and invasive species monitoring, these along with this new instrument will help give us a complete picture of the health of the lake, and most importantly a heads up if something’s were to change. I have put together a question and answer sheet on why doing dissolved oxygen is so important, I hope you find it useful and informative. Please feel free to pass this message onto any of your neighbors who are not members of the association so they know what's going on. Kurt read the question and answer document
Bathymetric Contour Scan Map of the Boot Lake completed by the WDNR, all part of our lake management plan. It's a nice representation of the various water depths around the lake.
