Barnes Lake Launch Ramp Issue & Resolution

Although work has been done on ramp, please be cautious along the dock side of ramp. Be careful not to get too close to dock. 

The ramp needs to be monitored to access if temporary fix is holding up.

There was a huge underwater crater/dislocation at the end of ramp (dock side).

************************STAY AWAY FROM IT*******************************

The Lake Improvement Board is working on a temporary way to resolve it as well as establishing a long term, robust fix. Meanwhile, angle your trailers away from the dock to avoid having your wheels fall into a “pot hole” at lower edge of ramp.

Sincerely,

Burns

Lake Improvement Board.

Crafters within our Community

Good Day everyone!!!

We have a lot of crafters (artists, wood working, seamstresses, cartoonists, etc.) within our community.  We also have a lot of new community members who may not know about all the talent we have in this community.  So in this being said, if anyone who is a crafter that would like the BLC to post your information on our website, and place a flyer about your product that is for sale at all of our meetings, please send me a flyer or information sheet and we will take off the rest.

Thanks everyone!

Enjoy your day!

Barnes Lake Geese Update by Laurie & Tom Petts

All paperwork was completed this year for the Nest/Egg Destruction on Barnes Lake.  Goose Busters was able to come out and get 9 nests and 50 eggs.  Due to the presence of High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Michigan the DNR has suspended the Goose Round-Up.  Relocation of Canada geese has the risk of transporting HPAI around the state and facilitating the spread of the virus. 

As a resident of Barnes Lake, it is highly recommended that you refrain from feeding the geese, put up fencing or barriers to keep them off your property, and use scare techniques such as flags, reflective tape, and harassment.

Thank you and have a great summer!
