At St. Ferdinand Lake

Over the winter the Parks & Recreation Department has been busy dredging St. Ferdinand Lake, installing new intakes for the waterfall which draws water from the bottom of the lake and installing new fountains that will also draw from the bottom, which allows for more oxygenation of the water. More oxygenation will allow for a healthier lake environment.

The project still calls for some plants to be planted in the beds that were built during the dredging process. Plants will further enhance the new lake environment. The lake project is nearing completion and the lake will be stocked in late July.

For at least the next year “a catch and release program” for fishing will be put in place so the lake can be restocked properly. Feeding of the ducks is discouraged at St. Ferdinand Lake.
