Managing Aquatic Plants: aka - weeds
Some members prefer to manage aquatic plants along their shoreline by way of mechanical harvesting. The association provides this service through the volunteer efforts of those who maintain and operate the association's equipment.
The optimal time to harvest most aquatic plants is late June - early July, when the plants are prominent enough to cut, but not so overgrown that they quickly fill the bed of the harvester. This is particularly true of Wild Rice, which becomes very bulky by mid-late July. For this reason, later season harvesting may require additional fees.
In some cases, a permit from the DNR is required to harvest aquatic plants. Property owners are responsible for obtaining permits prior to harvesting. You'll find more information here and the permit application site here.
15' Channel, Wild Rice
$130.00
A DNR permit is required. The permit is good as long as one owns the property. The channel may extend as far as necessary to reach open water. Note that very long distances may require additional fees.
15' foot channel, Lily Pads
$130.00
A DNR permit is not required. The channel cut must remain in the same location year to year. Additional fees may apply for channels in excess of 100'.
Harvesting of Submerged Vegetation up to 2,500 sq. ft.
$130.00
A permit is not required for harvesting areas of 2,500 sq. ft or less. Areas may be 50' long, or half the length of the shoreline, whichever is less, and extend 50' into the lake.
Harvesting Submerged Vegetation, 2,501-5,000 sq. ft.
$185.00
A permit from the DNR is required. Areas may be 50' along the shore or half of the shoreline, which ever is less, and extend 100' into the lake.
Other Harvesting Fees
Some circumstances require additional harvesting fees which are determined through discussion with the property owner(s). Use this tab to pay non-standard harvesting fees as approved by the association.
