Over 30 children participated in the free swim lessons that were provided by the STARS Club last week. The students were lead by instructor Paul Pero with help of Leeann Moses, Jen Addair, as well as a few parents. As the week progressed, the students became more comfortable in the water, learned basic strokes, and had a lot of fun, too!

Plans for swimming lessons next year are already in the works.

Thank you to everyone who participated and to our helpers and to our instructor Paul Pero!!

Algal Toxin and Bacteria Testing Program for Lake Roaming Rock

Published May 26, 2017 | By admin

Microcystin Algal Toxin		E.coli Bacteria
West Beach 1	East Beach 2	West Beach 1	East Beach 2
Results below early warning level	Results below early warning level	Results below early warning level	Results below early warning level

Click here for weekly updates

Current Conditions as of 5/23/2017: The current results for the testing program for the lake are summarized above. A green cell indicates that results are below the USEPA or OhioEPA criteria for recreational water. A yellow cell indicates that values have exceeded the limit and appropriate caution is advised. Your Lake Management Committee’s (LMC) water testing program for harmful algal blooms (Microcystin) monitors our two beach areas during the hot, summer months and advises that all test results received so far have been well below any level of concern or alarm. In addition, the LMC is also having tests performed for the presence of E.coli bacteria at the two beaches as is done in most public beaches. Should any of these test results approach the level of caution, the Board of Directors will request that caution signs be posted at the affected beaches for your safety. Of course, common sense tells us not to swim in any waters that contain unusual amounts of algae. Please enjoy our beautiful lake and have a safe summer.

Prepping for the 2017 Dredging Operation

Published May 18, 2017 | By admin

Once the road ban was lifted this year, the RRA maintenance crew got to work on dredging for the year. The first step is to move the dried sediment from last year’s operation. Over 6000 cubic yards of sediment was removed last year alone. It is transported to the dewatering site where it dries out over the winter and is ready to move and collect by May. See pictures below of the dirt being moved to get a feel for just how much sediment was removed from our lake.

During the dredging operation over the summer the maintenance crew will use the bulldozer to keep spreading material as it is removed from the lake.

Top soil from this operation is made available to our Members free of charge. It is located next to our cinder bay behind the old maintenance garage near the RRA Office and on the RL Lot near Knowlton Entrance on Morning Star Dr.
