Early 2014

2014 rolls around and same issues but not with same slushy consistency more so a brown reddish color with as ton of silt entering the lake. 

This issue was a hot topic at all Islandview Beach Association meetings but all frustrated as no one knew where to turn. Lakefront homeowners are upset as it seems the weeds in the lake are thriving on this run off. Some cannot even venture into the water as weeds so thick. High taxes are being paid to live on the water and enjoy it but that pleasure has been reduced.
My neighbor purchased a new jet drive seadoo boat in 2010 when he moved up here and also installed a volley ball net in the water. As everyone knows a jet drive and weeds don't get along. I don't think he would have spent close to 50K if the growth was like this 5 years ago? Both of our families had many endless hours of enjoyment with our beachfront. Now I have grandkids and I would love to have them swim out front but cannot so we have to go to a beach area vs our waterfront. It's truly a shame.

Late 2014/Early2015 the ice on creek was a darkish brown color which was odd and had a closer look it showed creek was frozen to ground but water flowing on top of ice was more run off from the thaw, same source.
