Help Keep Our Water Clean
The Fulton Chain of Lakes is Protected by Law

An aggressive program of dye testing septic systems has restored the lake quality to safe levels. Legislation has been passed setting speed limits on the Chain and extending the “no wake” area for boats to two hundred (200) feet from shore to promote safety, prevent shoreline damage and reduce nuisance to property owners. We encouraged the Town of Webb to pass further legislation that established a curfew for personal watercraft on the Fulton Chain. The FCLA has been involved in the long range development planning for the area: it is vigilant in monitoring our waters for non-native invasive plants and was instrumental in establishing the Bti program that is currently used to control black flies.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO:
Discharge sewage into the lake, its tributaries, or on frozen surfaces.
Use Soap or Detergent for any purpose in the lake, on its shore, or in its tributaries.
Discharge holding tanks into the lake.
Please do not litter our islands or shorelines.
IF YOU BRING IT IN, TAKE IT OUT WITH YOU!
