The Bay Lake Improvement Association conducted a Eurasian Watermilfoil survey of Bay Lake earlier this month. We will be treating 34 sites equaling 18.08 acres of Eurasian Watermilfoil in Bay Lake with Liquid 2,4-D. We expect to conduct treatments the week of June 22nd weather conditions permitting.
The program has worked for 35 years, and our mission statement has always been to not allow EWM to become the dominate plant species and it’s not. We will never eradicate it, but we can control it. Your support is critical to protecting the lake from invasive species such as EWM and others.
As mentioned in the Breezes article and at previous annual BLIA meetings we will not be collecting approval signatures any longer. We will assume all approve and allow those who don’t want their shorelines chemically treated to opt out of treatments by contacting me at the phone number or email listed below.
To opt out of chemical treatments of Eurasian Watermilfoil on your shoreline please call, email, or write David Devins immediately and say so, describing your property by address, fire number (if you know it), Photo from the water and or neighbors on either side of you so we can properly identify your property.

Loons thrive on quiet, natural shorelines where native plants and undisturbed habitat provide the safety and shelter they need to nest and raise their chicks. These shorelines offer protection from predators, a buffet of aquatic life for feeding, and calm, shallow waters ideal for nesting.
As the boating season on Bay Lake arrives, it is good to refresh ourselves on boating rules and boating courtesy. Baylake.com contains links to Minnesota DNR boating and watercraft safety and regulations.
Law enforcement in Cass and Crow Wing counties are urging boaters in those counties to follow a slow or no-wake speed on lakes and waterways when close to the shoreline.
