Reflections On The Lake

"I think that it is education. How do you enjoy the lake without ruining it? Like any ecology, if it is overused it is going to develop problems. You have to learn to deal with the growth. People can’t afford to just have a good time on the lake without being responsible for what goes on. I don’t think that as a whole people are any different than they used to be, it’s just that there are so many more of them. Every little thing people do that effects the lake is being done by a lot of other people, it all adds up, nothing is insignificant."

All it takes is one piece of a weed stuck on a boat trailer to find its way into the lake and within a year or two the lake can be infested. The following photos are from lakes in New Hampshire, Maine, and the Mid-West that have become infested. Help the PLIA keep this from happening to our beautiful lake! Warning: This is a large article and will take awhile to open on a dial-up internet connection.
