2025 Winter Aeration Expansion Project
Objective: In an effort to better sustain a healthy aquatic fishery, including during drawdowns, RLAA had our contractor extend the aeration diffuser hoses out further into the lake. They now extend 1,000' from the shoreline, an increase of over 700', which will put them at least 3' deeper than in the past. Appropriate Thin Ice signage will be deployed surrounding that area this winter. Click here for approximate new diffuser locations.
