Crystal Lake

Crystal Lake water level status: Normal

When the water level is on "High Water" status, all watercraft must travel at no-wake speeds (5 miles per hour (MPH) or less). When the status is "Normal" watercraft traffic may resume regular activity.

Lake level readings are taken once per week during the open water season. During periods of high water, the lake level is checked more frequently.

Aquatic Plant Pickup For Homeowners

The City harvests Curly-leaf Pondweed on Crystal Lake every year in an effort to control this invasive species and reduce nuisance plant growth.  Harvesting activities can result in some additional cut plant material washing up on private shoreline areas.  To assist residents in disposing of this material, the City will be conducting one round of curbside pickups for aquatic plant material approximately one week after harvesting is complete.  Registration for 2023 pickups has been completed.  This website will be updated with next years pickup date and registration form when 2024 harvesting begins.
