LAKE WEEDING

 Both Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes were treated for lake weeds on June 3rd and June 4th.  In previous years a company was contracted to do the weeding.  The Conservancy decided to assign that jobe to Nick Johann and employees.  He as seen going around the shoreline with a liquid spray on both days.   ( I think it used to be a granular product)   A few years ago activity on the lake being treated was halted for that day......not so in more recent times.  The lakes were not closed to activity during the weeding process.

HIGH WATER

 Memorial Day was properly named!  After additional rains Cordry with its new spillway was back to "green" for the Memorial Day celebration.  Not so at Sweetwater Lake.  It was red into the weekend and then did turn Yellow for slow no wake activity.   Summer like weather has now appeared and  both lakes are busy with family fun and rides.

YELLOW LIGHT ON SWEETWATER

 Memorial Day Weedend was a bit slow on Sweetwater Lake.  It was Red no boats on Saturday and opened up to Yellow on Sunday and Monday.  This did allow for pontooners, kayakers, and paddleboarders.  Sunday excitement on Sunday when a huge oak tree decided to flop over into the lake on the north end of Sweetwater!

READY FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

 The flags on Sweetwater Dam are up and the dams on both Cordry and Sweetwater are freshly mowed.  The area is ready for Memorial Day weekend but mother nature has more rain in store for us!  High water on Sweetwater and possibly Cordry may limit fun on the lakes this weekend.

Sweetwater Yellow

 Sweetwater Lake remains on Yellow since last Wednesday, May 6th due to a 3 inch rain storm.  I'm experienced (old) and don't remember it taking this long to get rid of water and back to normal pool level.  I personally checked the spillway today and it is clear and flowing.  Cordry Lakes new spillway system is great!  Always on green!

NEW SWEETWATER BOAT LAUNCH RAMP

 Work is supposed to begin on Monday, April 7th, 2026 on the Sweetwater boat launch ramp.   "Power loading" of boats on trailers has created a large hole at the end of the ramp.  Longer pontoon trailers fall off the end of the ramp into the "hole."  The existing ramp was installed in September of 2013.

LOON VISITOR

 Early morning visitor today on the north end of Sweetwater Lake.  Hopefully the lake will go "green" in the next day or two.  It has been "red" or "yellow" for over two weeks.  The weather this week has been snowing and windy.  The weatherman promises a warm next few days.
