Looking for another way to enjoy the wonders of the Northwoods? Exploring the night skies, watching fireflies and stargazing are but a few ways to appreciate the darkness. Oneida and Vilas County Land & Water Conservation Departments are promoting two summer weekends to enjoy the night. We encourage you to turn off your lights for a few hours, go outside, and look up and around you! Listening in the darkness can also lead to exciting discoveries! Make this an event for your lake group or educational organization; help us spread the word through your organization communications and newsletters!
This blue raft is in the weeds located on the northeast end of the lake near Marten Trail. If it's yours contact me.
Heard from John today that we have baby loons on the lake. Be careful when you're out on the lake.

Just a quick note -- a mama loon and a baby were seen in the southwest bay this weekend. If you're in that area please be careful and go slowly.
Just wanted to let you know the ice went out today. Seems pretty early but we'll take it.
Here's a note from Bobbi about the buoys by the island . . .
" I wanted to let you know that Tom switched out the fair weather Island Buoys with the Winter Ice Spar Buoys yesterday. These ice spar buoys, located at the dedicated GPS locations for the buoys on file with the WDNR, will act as place holders during the winter. They extend about a foot above the surface of the lake. This will make returning the fair weather buoys to their exact location much easier in the spring. Thought residents should be aware they will be out on the lake in the winter. "
