THE BOAT INSPECTION PROGRAM

Organized by Bill Hall this effort assigns and trains volunteers to man the Public Boat landing and conduct inspections of boats, trailers, PWCs – in short, anything that goes into the lake. Please take a turn in providing this critical help towards keeping Black Oak Lake milfoil-free. Check the Inspection Calendar (there’s a link off of our homepage). There is a brown bin beside the restroom building and the lock combination is 5454 (our zip code minus the zero). In it are all the items and instructions you need.

Note that the most important question in inspections is – “Where was this boat last?”. If it was a milfoil infested lake this would justify a much more detailed check than if it was not. In Vilas County milfoil is present in 11 lakes plus most of the Eagle River chain. Those eleven lakes are Arrowhead (aka Little Star), Upper Gresham, Boot, Lost Lake in St. Germain, North and South Twin, Silver, Forest, Big Sand and Long in Phelps, and Little St. Germain.
