2026 Boot Lake Cleanup We had a great attendance at this year's annual Boot Lake clean-up. The participants included: Craig Vorpahl, Gavin McDonald, Ben Ariss, Patty Bero, Bill Bero, Noah Bero Evensen, Elzan Ohiwein, Mark Koeppler, Breleigh Koeppler and Dan Platkowski. We cleaned most of Archibald Lake Rd and Pine Ridge Rd shore lines. The most unusual item we found this year was a spare tire that must have separated from some vehicle while traveling along Archibald Lake Rd. Other than that we found very few items to remove from the lake. Thank You to all who participated Bill Bero

2026 Boot Lake Boating With the 2026 boating season upon us it's a good idea to review Doty's new boating ordinances and regulations which were enacted recently. We all want to enjoy the summer and have fun, but we also want to be safe. Also, please tell your family and guests to watchout for the loons Kurt

Here are two unique postcards taken at approximately the same spot, but 6 years apart. The top one from 1924 and the bottom from 1930. Zoom in if you can at the Pine Ridge shoreline in the background, you will see the effects of the forest fire on the tree line. If you have any burnt out stumps on your property it was from this fire.

July Boot Lake Water Testing from Kurt and Amy
Here is the fish stocking report dating back from 1972. It shows what type of fish were stocked and by whom. I understand the DNR, but am having a problem identifying who the " private stocking " is. Bottomline if anyone is wondering where all the pan fishing has gone over the years just look at the report.

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
