LakeSmart Resources
Having a lake-friendly yard and garden helps keep our lakes clean and healthy. Check out the links below for tips and resources!
If your property is along the water, or whether you spend your time fishing, boating, swimming, or just relaxing, there are many ways you can help keep our beautiful lakes clean and healthy!
Runoff water from driveways and parking areas can wash pollutants into nearby lakes, rivers, wetlands, and storm drains that empty into a waterbody. Properly maintaining parking areas and directing water runoff is important for the health of our lakes.
Living in a lake-friendly way goes beyond outdoor activities and landscaping. The way we live in and maintain our home plays an important role in keeping pollutants out of groundwater and out of the lake.
