Lobdell Lake Weed Treatment Update
Lobdell Lake Weed Treatment Update
September 28, 2025
The week of September 29, Lobdell Lake will undergo a late weed treatment to address nuisance Enid watermilfoil conditions. The nuisance conditions were first observed in mid-August and a plan to address was immediately formulated. The key next step was to get amended permits approved by the State of Michigan. After extensive review by the State, that approval was received late in the week of September 22. While a Fall treatment for nuisance weed conditions is not usual, it is also not unprecedented as later treatments have been employed multiple times in the past. The key driver behind this year’s treatment is intended to delay the onset of nuisance conditions in the Spring of 2026 should the nuisance conditions be allowed to increase untreated over the Winter. The key factors behind this Fall’s nuisance conditions are the recent mild winters, current record water clarity in Lobdell along with the unusually high temperatures and sunshine experienced in late August & September.
