As many have been noticing, the lake is experiencing a return of blue-green algal blooms. We have been monitoring the situation and have obtained some additional testing results. What we are experiencing is the equivalent of the perfect storm.

We have discussed in the past the that the lake stratifies during the summer. This results in the release of phosphorous from the lake bottom sediment in the lake below 12-15 feet, which typically Read more

Update: The treatment was applied as planned on 8-26. All lake activities may resume as of 8-28. Have a great and safe Labor Day Weekend!

Conditions on the lake have resulted in a decision to schedule an algaecide treatment on the northern half of the lake for Tuesday, August 26th. This includes a line from about Sugar Creek north. The southern half of the lake will not be treated at this time. Therefore, those in the untreated areas, please Read more

Boaters take notice, the RomeRock Association has deployed ultrasonic buoys for the season.

What are the ultrasonic buoys? These buoys use solar panels to power ultrasonic emitters that are suspended in the water. The sound waves disrupt the ability of blue-green algae to rise to the surface, depriving them of the sunlight they need to survive. As a result, they will die and drop to the bottom of the lake. This is a non-chemical alternative to the algaecides we Read more

As we come to the end of 2024, we look back on the recreational season that we just completed. This past year we continued with the programs that have shown success and evaluated new ideas to help as we move forwards with our short and long-term lake management plans. This document gives a brief overview of the past year.

We have continued with the program involving application of algaecides during the season to Read more

This past Thursday, we completed the treatment of about half of the lake, from the south to around Beach 1. This treatment was needed as a result of an increase in the severity and intensity of blue-green algae in the southern end of the lake. The treatment area was adjusted from the original announcement due to the concern of further spread of the affected area due to around an inch of rain over Read more
