Our primary objective is it to treat for invasive aquatic weeds in Green Lake such as Eurasian Watermilfoil and Curly Pond Leaf. Under strict supervision of the DNR the GLA is permitted to treat designated areas. The treatments are conducted minding specific guidelines regarding the protection of native aquatic plants and the fish population. Maintaining a clean and safe Green Lake is our goal.

Attached a photo of the loon nest built and placed on a small cove near the lighthouse. A big THANK YOU to Gary Noren, Marty Harding, Dave Fleming and Dave Webster for building and installing the loon nest. More photos of the loon nest will be posted on our website in a few days.

What is invasive phragmites and how does it affect your lakeshore? Learn more by attending the Figuring out Phragmites Workshop on April 24 in Lindstrom, MN to learn how to identify and remove invasive phragmites. The St. Croix River Association and Chisago County are sponsoring the workshop.Invasive phragmites is a non-native, semi-aquatic perennial grass. It is known as “Invasive Common Reed.” It is tall (reaching up to 15 feet) and densely growing. It is found in wetlands, river bank areas, on shorelines, and in roadside ditches. It grows fast and can take over shoreland and wetland areas, push out native vegetation, reduce habitat quality for wildlife, obstruct lake views and block water access.
Registration is required. To register or learn more, visit www.stcroixriverassociation.org/event/figuring-out-phragmites/.

Curious if anyone has kept a record of the ice out dates for Green Lake. I'd like to know what the last couple of years have been.
I have a list. I will sent it out to all the membership, I'm sure folks will be interested
The lake was perfect for skating at sunset on Dec 24th, but quickly changed by Jan 4th with major ice heaving.
The ice heave is on Point Pleasant Rd. The north shore of the large basin.
Probably near the channel but not in the channel. There is always ice heves along the shoreline.
Wow, thats cool!
Where? Is it between little and big green?
The licensed muskrat trappers are out on the lake. As a reminder, muskrats can make havoc to shoreline and they love to chew on wiring on boats - I can attest to both. A female muskrat can have as many as 10 pups per litter and can have as many as 3 litters per year, so a few less of them would be nice.
Are they out on other lakes? I would like to invite them over to Chisago Lake!
Beer for trappers on south end of Chisago Lake!
