Zebra Mussel Information
Zebra Mussels are a serious problem on the Huron.
Any material removed from the river or lakes should NOT be transported to another body of water. Boats and motors should be cleaned, weeds removed from trailers, water transported should not be empted in another lake or stream.
Another reason not to leave your boat in the water all the time!
