SLA Members!!
Judy and Chuck Odegaard had a pontoon float up on there shore! If you are missing your pontoon, please contact them so you can get your boat back. They have assured us that they will feed it and water it until it gets reunited with the proper owner!

In case you didn’t know, the SLA adopts a portion of the highway in Deerwood. The first one is coming up on May 18th at 10:30am. If you are able and willing to help, please meet in the parking lot of Salem Lutheran Church in Deerwood. We would love to see you out there!
Our first SLA social will be held also on May 18th at 4:00pm. This social will be held at the Red Raven. If you would like to bring an appetizer that would be great! This is a great time to get to know your neighbors on the lake.
Every Spring, Serpent Lake is treated with Aquathol K to control the invasive species called Curly Leaf Pondweed. It is the largest expense of the Serpent Lake Association. We spend between $15,000 to $20,000 annually to treat up to the permitted 50 acres. Our major funding source that is necessary to treat Curly Leaf is from our association members. One Twin Cities lake is now facing drastic measures to deal with the infestation of Curly Leaf. Read the article below for more information:
Obviously, Serpent Lake has much different characteristics than Normandale. However, Curly Leaf Pondweed needs our attention. Please consider an additional donation to the Serpent Lake Preservation Fund. The Lake Association Board tries to maintain funding for the current year of treatment, plus one additional year. See the fact sheet below about Curly Leaf:
