My 88-year-old parents own a cottage on Lake Koshkonong (Vinnie Ha Ha Rd). Their lakeshore definitely needs to be cleaned-up from the water damage. Does your organization or do you have a list of local businesses that are available to do this for hire?

We would really appreciate any suggestions you might have.

thank you

I just wanted to let you know that while patrolling this weekend, I noticed the northwest side of Lake K is an area boaters should be extremely cautious when nearing the shoreline or Rock River.
