Invasive PlantsInvasive plants can destroy a lake. There are many lakes throughout the state that are in trouble. We want you to be aware of the fact that Lake Helen is no longer exempt from the problem. Plants that are detrimental to the health of the lake have entered our beautiful waters. We need everyone's help to get a handle on this problem and to stop the spreading.

BEFORE YOU RAKE
Prior to raking the water in front of your property, contact one of the Commissioners to have someone check and make sure that you don't have some Eurasian Milfoil plants that should be pulled first.
