There’s good news and bad news about the Crystal Lake.
The health of the lake is very good. But there are things in nature that can harm the recreational body of water. The Crystal Lake is a natural lake and other species of nature prefer to enjoy its benefits as well as humans. This includes such as zebra mussels, geese and exotic plants.
Possibly at the top of the list are the zebra mussels and exotic plants .They have invaded the body of water and seem to appreciate being residents.
That’s the information derived from last night’s annual lake meeting by the Crystal Lake Park District. This governing body has responsibility of keeping the lake in as good a shape as possible. Other bodies also involved include the City of Crystal Lake and the Village of Lakewood.
In order to keep the health of the lake in as near perfect health as possible, care has to be taken to keep out as much detrimental aspects as possible. This includes attempting to control exotic plant growth through treatments and weed harvesting, attempting to control the zebra mussel growth and keeping down the residency of large birds such as the geese.
