FISHING EVENT PLANNED

Looking forward to warmer weather? We'd like to announce our plans to organize a fishing contest on Eagle Lake this year. Although many details are yet to be finalized, we know that the event will be held on Saturday, June 1st, to coincide with the DNR free fishing weekend. Mark the date on your calendars, and join your neighbors and fellow members at Eagle Lake Park for some family fun. Details for this and other ELIA activities will soon appear in the Events section of our website.

DON'T BE THIS GUY

01/03/2019 -- With the warm weather, wind, and rain after Christmas, the ice on Eagle Lake almost completely disappeared. Only a recent cold evening with calm water allowed a new sheet of ice to form. Residents should think twice about venturing onto the lake until cold weather returns and provides at least four inches of solid ice. Good fishing has been reported by ice fisherman this year, but your safety is more important. Click here for ice thickness chart.

PHOTO CONTEST WINNERS

The talent of many local photographers was on display at the annual meeting in this year's Eagle Lake Photo Contest. Entries were impartially judged and winners were chosen in three categories, with a fourth award selected by vote of meeting attendees. The image of the sunset paddle boarder, taken by Kim Traxinger, won the People's Choice award. To view all of the winning entries, please visit our Photo page and see if you agree with our photo judge.

WATERSHED TASK FORCE

You might not even be aware of the Oakcrest Creek inlet, where it is located, or how it contributes to the health of Eagle Lake. But thanks to the efforts of the Watershed Task Force, this will change in 2018. Legacy phosphorus, dead and diseased trees, and invasive species are among the issues to be addressed in efforts to restore the inlet to a more natural state. We might soon have an IESF on Eagle Lake! Click here to learn more.
