Good Lake Behaviors

Do be considerate of loons while operating boats and PWCs.  To protect them from injury and death, pick up any loose line when fishing and refrain from using lead sinkers.

Do check for and remove aquatic weeds from your boat, trailer, and anchor, especially if you boat in other waters.

Do exercise caution when refueling dockside to prevent gas and oil spills. To report a spill, call the Oil Spill Response Team at (603) 271-2900.
