Plant Identification (Aquatic and Terrestrial) Page
This page focuses primarily on the aquatic plant identification and aquatic invasive's that are either threatening the lake currently (i.e. they are in neighboring lakes) or that will be threatening us directly in the next few years (i.e. they are already in the North East); as well as those invasive's that are sadly already in Eagle Lake.

  • Plant Surveys (Eagle Lake) Page- Surveys of Eagle Lake that studied either individually or in combination the location and distribution of native vegetation or the locations and distributions of the invasive Eurasian Water Milfoil.
