Lake George located at the southern end of the Adirondack Park in Upstate New York is among the clearest and cleanest large lakes in the World. Like many lakes, it has been impacted by invasive Eurasian milfoil. First discovered in 1986, milfoil has been managed over the past 30 years at a cost of over
On tap is the Excelsior’s latest brew called the Milfoil Lakehouse Saison Ale. It has an “exotic, invasive flavor,” they say, from ingredients like Minnetonka honey and Minnesota wild rice, as well as a dash of Eurasian milfoil and zebra mussel shells. That’s right – the aquatic invasive species can be intentionally consumed for your
The Cazenovia Lake Association in coordination with the town, New York Department of Environmental Conservation and other entities is continually looking for methods to control the spread of the invasive Eurasian Milfoil weed. The two methods that are currently employed are the use of a weed harvester and the use of an herbicide. The control
State environmental officials have rejected a plan to use a powerful chemical herbicide to control an invasive water weed in Lake Iroquois in Chittenden County, saying the potential environmental damage did not justify its use.

Most fishermen just call it “grass.” Others refer to it as “milfoil” (although that is just one species of many). Scientific types called it “aquatic vegetation,” while most dock owners refer to it as “weeds” (or other names we can’t publish here). Whatever you call it, the submergent (underwater) aquatic vegetation growing on area lakes
One of the consequences of extended flooding and muddy water in the Tennessee Valley Authority lakes stretching across north Alabama is the decimation of underwater vegetation, changing the areas where bait and bass gather. Too much hydrilla and milfoil – both invasive species – is obviously a bad thing for boaters, anglers and fish because
The discovery of endangered mussels in much of Okanagan Lake could have a severe impact on future beach quality throughout the region. Rocky Mountain ridged mussels were found in the Vernon arm of Okanagan Lake, located in British Columbia, Canada; and subsequent surveys have found the native species all the way south to Osoyoos. Winter
Lake Shawnee has been identified time and again as one of the most idyllic locations in Shawnee County, Kansas, leading county commissioners to invest heavily in the area in recent years with new walking paths and other features. But maintaining that beauty, and more importantly, what’s under the water, can be challenging and at times
There are two main invasive weeds in Lake Guntersville, hydrilla and milfoil. Neither plants are native to the lake.

Tennessee Valley Authority allowed the news media to see how
