Be sure to fully empty and clean your boat whenever you leave a lake to prevent unwanted hitchhikers.
Invasive species, such as zebra mussels and curlyleaf pondweed, are frequently transported as boats move from lake to lake in bait buckets, livewells, undrained boats, and attached to trailers. Be sure to fully empty and clean your boat whenever you leave a lake to prevent unwanted hitchhikers.
Large wakes disturb below the surface of the water as well as above it. When wakes agitate bottom sediments and shorelines, particles are suspended or re-suspended in the water, releasing nutrients which lead to eutrophication (algae growth). Following the established rules for the lake you are boating in, such as no-wake and speed restrictions on Prior Lake, will help to keep the lake clean and enjoyable.
