Welcome to Square Lake

Thanks for visiting our website, a learning platform for increasing awareness of the water quality threats to Square Lake, including a proactive focus on Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) risk management. Today, more than ever is a critical time to help prevent the spread of AIS. Please read more and support our efforts.

URGENT UPDATE

As of Friday, August 23rd, zebra mussels have been found in Lake Carnelian, our neighbor lake. This is very disturbing. The future of our treasured Square Lake is in jeopardy.

We are calling to action our Square Lake Association Board, Members, neighbors and friends to help us at all levels. More to come!

In the meantime, here’s what you and all guests to our beautiful lake can do to help:

  1. Clean boats before and after entering other lakes (see below graphic for more info),

  2. Make sure lake shore contractors are doing what they can to prevent the spread of zebra mussels when working in our lake,

  3. Volunteer and help raise awareness of this important issue by emailing Jim Seidl,

  4. If you can’t volunteer, please consider donating to help us get a boat cleaning station set-up at our boat launch.

For more information - please go to our Aquatic Invasive Species page.
