Why This Matters
Since the 1990s, rising phosphorus and nitrogen levels have pushed Eagle Lake from eutrophic to hypereutrophic, with more shoreline erosion, sediment, algae blooms and declining water quality. Because the watershed is small, coordinated actions by nearby homeowners and farmers can meaningfully improve conditions over time.
Protecting Eagle Lake begins along each shoreline. Learn what works, ask questions, and see practical ideas that may fit your property.
