Our Lakes
Weed and Algae Control Programs
Washtenaw County and Hamburg Township run programs to help control invasive species and algal blooms.
We have been monitoring the quality of the water in our lakes since 1974 – for 50 years.
As our use of the lakes have increased over the years with the construction of more homes and use of the lakes by more and more boats, our impact on the quality of the waters has also increased. Learn more about the threats to our lakes and what we each can do to minimize their impact.
Aerial photos and data about our lakes help us understand each of the lakes and how they work togather to create the Huron River Chain of Lakes.
There is lots to learn about lakes – lakes as playgrounds, and just as importantly, lakes as home to wildlife.
