If you’ve had a pontoon boat on Lake Fenton for a couple of years, either you – or someone you know – has had a muskrat destroy the wiring under the pontoons. This mostly happens in the fall when young muskrats leave their parent’s nest and start one on their own. To a young muskrat, a nest of branches and leaves in the well between the pontoons is just as good as a nest in the banks of the lake where they normally live.
Nest destruction program, wake boats, short term rentals, fireworks, lights on the lake, boat parade discussed.
Discussion of ongoing Short Term Rental ordinance, Motion to support HB 5532 regarding wake boats minimum water depth and distance from shore. Nest destruction program renewed for 5 more years. Click the link below for the meeting minutes.
