This coming Columbus Day weekend marks the official end of the 2014 Lake Host Program. This was a record-breaking year as our 750 Lake Hosts stationed at 100 of the most highly used boat ramps in the state conducted over 80,000 courtesy boat inspections to help boaters prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in our waters. Lake Hosts removed 55 pieces of hitchhiking aquatic invasive species this summer – to see when and where these ‘saves’ were made, visit
