Video Series (part 1)
Because the invasive weeds in Eagle Lake is the topic of so many of the conversations among residents each year, the Eagle Lake Improvement Association created a two-part video series for website viewing. The first provides some background information on the current invasive weeds in our lake, and an overview of the challenges we face in our efforts to manage them.

Video Series (part 2)
The Eagle Lake Management District serves as our primary weapon in the ongoing efforts to manage and chemically treat our invasive weeds. This is a tough job due to the characteristics of Eagle Lake and the challenge of balancing recreational use with the ecology of shallow lakes. Have you observed the large green barges with paddle wheels on the lake? The weed harvesters are operated by the ELMD each summer and you can learn about them in this video.

Getting To Know Shallow Lakes
The term "shallow lake" is often used by the regulators to describe a lake that is less than 15 feet deep, or more than 80% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep. Clearly, Eagle Lake falls into this category. Learn about the ecology of shallow lakes, and why it is important for residents and lake managers to set realistic expectations for recreation, water quality and aquatic plant abundance.
