North Boat Landing
As you may have noticed, the landing area on the north end of the lake was blacktopped this summer as part of the 10th Ave. reconstruction project. The landing belongs to the Town of Alden and we thank them for doing this as part of their road project. The old school building and the parking area belong to the DNR and the DNR does plan on removing the old school house sometime this Fall.

Seasonal Water Level
As per DNR requirements, each year on the first of November we start to lower the water level of Cedar Lake by removing boards in the dam. The process to lower the water level to the normal winter level will take at least a couple weeks, depending on rain and snow conditions during this time.

For those that attended the annual meeting in August, you heard that there are some issues with the condition of the dam at the outlet of the lake. We have a preliminary report from the DNR, which is available here. We are currently talking with engineering firms to have a more in depth inspection, including repair cost estimates. When those are available they will be posted on the website. The dam technically belongs to the Lake District so we are responsible for any repairs, but it appears there are some DNR grants available to help with some of these costs.
