Wall Lake has been treating Eurasian Milfoil for over 6 years and currently have it in check. It will likely never go away, but with proper vigilance we should see it kept at bay.

ZEBRA MUSSEL
The Zebra mussel is a very invasive organism that is transferred from one body of water to another in a drop of water, and thousands of larvae can be carried in a livewell or boat engine. An adult mussel can attach to a boat or trailer and live for several week out of water. At this time, there is no known way to eliminate or eradicate this mussel.
Please be absolutely sure that your boats and you visitors' boats are 100% rinsed and dry before entening Wall lake
