Dave Bakke, a Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District board manager and Bone Lake resident since 2012, described the lake's marked improvement in water clarity -- from being unable to see his feet while wading to a 13-foot Secchi-disk reading -- following its removal from the state's impaired-waters list.
Identified as the watershed district's Bone Lake manager, Dave Bakke recalled the lake's poor water clarity and blue-green algae blooms when he moved there in 2012, and said longtime residents have noticed major improvement after a decade of watershed-led treatment projects.
