Checklist for Recreation and Watercraft Use

Posted on July 3, 2009 by glenlake

The GLA wishes you a happy and safe 4th of July. While you are enjoying your time on and around the lake or Crystal River, we hope you will be a good neighbor and steward of our precious waters.

Please remember to:

*Water ski, jet ski or tube as far from shore as possible to avoid stirring up sediments and disturbing wildlife and people on shore.

*Use the power boat wash at the DNR boat wash before introducing boats, any other watercraft, or trailers into the lake or river and flush the motor’s cooling system.

*Avoid bathing with soap in the lakes or river

*Stay clear of large patches of water plants

*Control loud outdoor music.

*Keep outdoor lighting to a minimum.
