NEWS RELEASE!
Starry Stonewort confirmed in Middle Cullen Lake in Crow Wing County
Starry Stonewort is an aquatic invasive species from Western Europe and Asia that was first found in Minnesota in 2015. It creates thick mats of vegetation and is destructive to water recreational activities and native habitat. Until now, it has been considered rare in Minnesota and has not been in our area. It can be controlled but it cannot be eradicated. This creates new urgency about cleaning any watercraft properly before bringing it into our lake. We plan to research what other steps can be taken to monitor Lake Hubert for it, and to educate the public about the risks of AIS.

We had northern lights on Sunday, August 11, 2024!
Thanks again to the Wieland sisters for hosting the summer social! It was a great success, in spite of the torrential rain that took us indoors after the first hour.
We had beautiful weather for the July 4, 2024 boat parade. It was great fun!
The 2024 Annual Meeting was a great success! Thanks to Janet Webster for her years of dedicated service to the LHCA Board!
We had 3 loon families with 5 babies on the lake in 2024!
The first babies hatched in the northeast lake platform on May 31, and one was lost to predation or other natural events. The second pair of chicks hatched on June 9 in the Sunset Bay platform, so we had 3 babies on the lake. Then, in early September, we did a loon count, and there is a third family with 2 more babies that likely came over from nearby Bass Lake.
