Drawdown Complete
The annual drawdown has finished and we had some great freezing at the level low point. The lake has started its natural fill and Sunken Island is becoming sunken once again!

Earth Day Every Day
The annual Lake Singletary Earth Day Cleanup was held April 23. We had a great turnout and look forward to your continuted support!
Couldn’t join us? You can always help in many ways:
- Consider watering lawns with lake water as a replacement for commercial fertilizer – lake water has many vital nutrients and some people have reported good results. Even small amounts of commercial fertilizer leaching in the lake promotes rapid weed and algae growth.
- If you choose to fertilize, always use low phosphorous options – they are more expensive than regular options initially, but pays us back in many ways – including less need for reactive treatments to the watershed.
- Never point grass clippings or leaf blowers towards the lake – that too accelerates invasive species, weeds and algae.
- Control your wake when lake levels are high. There is danger of septic leaching and damage to shoreline ecosystems.
- Dim the lights. The lake provides a natural mirror which sends flood and ornamental light further than you might think. Please consider your neighbor across the lake when placing lights. Point lights downward when possible to avoid light pollution.
