Loon Lakes Future

Loon Lake's "health" is excellent! The water tests from the Ministry of the Environment are good; the e-coli test results taken every summer are predictable and generally acceptable; test results for spiny water flea and zebra mussels are consistently negative; no invading species have developed in the lake; lake bottom sediment deposition appears normal; and the weed population is acceptable.

Equally important, the lands surrounding the lake are not over developed such that there has been any serious damage to what is known as the "riparian" or "water's edge" part of the lake.

And what is really phenomenal is that the lake consistently seems to have looked after itself for decades!

Saying that, I also believe that a lot of people help out by practicing good "living around the water" principles!

But even though our lake is "healthy", I ask myself what else could or should be done for the lake by all of us ?

What are your thoughts?
