FLTF is responsible for maintaining the legal lake level. Lake improvement boards and townships are responsible for performing aquatic weed control and managing vegetation. Please read this post on our site for more information including who to contact about vegetation control.
Understand what Four Lakes Task Force's role is in lake management and who is responsible for managing vegetation.
As crews begin to work on the Tobacco spillway, public fishing access will close for the duration of construction. Fishing access at Secord and Smallwood dams will also remain closed due to active construction. We look forward to welcoming anglers back to the four lakes once the construction sites are complete.
See a full list of lakebottom information and guidelines here. The week of June 18, 2023, herbicides will be applied to the Wixom and Sanford lakebottoms under the jurisdiction of the Wixom Lake Improvement Board (WLIB) and Sanford Lake Improvement Board (SLIB). The primary goal is large-scale management of the young trees that started growing on the lakebottoms after the May 2020 flood.
Application Areas:
Due to active construction at Secord and Smallwood dams, public fishing access will be closed for the duration of construction. Public fishing access at the Tobacco spillway will be temporarily closed. We expect to reopen it in several weeks (end of April/early May).
Learn more about acceptable activities on the lakebottoms here. We're making progress on the open permitting issues shared in the January 18 webinar (part 303 - wetlands, part 301 - streams, endangered species, CLOMR).
1. A wetlands monitoring approach was developed and put in place and is currently under review as part of the permitting process. On October 20, 2022, over 200 attendees, 16 vendors and 11 presenters filed into the Midland Center for the Arts for an all-day event about the path to Four Lakes restoration. What follows is a summary of the symposium.
