Lost Cat

A cat has been seen around the north shore of LTL.  Anyone know who it belongs to?  It is grey and white and seems domesticated.  Contact Jerry Leanderson.  231 228-5903

Wondering what that "brown stuff" on the lake bottom is?

Spring is still trying to make it to the lake.  The ice is mostly gone and the lake level is normal for this time of year.

You may have seen "brown stuff" on the lake bottom in previous years.  Jeff Shutz did some research and has written an interesting article about what it is.  It is posted on the website under the water quality tab titled "Golden Brown Benthic Algae".  Thank you Jeff for the information.

Notice while you are there, the Good Harbor Bay Watershed plan is now "housed" on our website.  It previously was kept on the Leelanau Conservancy website.
