The Crooked Lake Area Association drafted a comprehensive management plan to address issues affecting Crooked Lake such as invasive species, muck, nonpoint source pollution, and trash. The plan's goals are to develop a 3D map of the lake substrate, identify strategies to restore lakeshore habitat, increase native plants, reduce impacts of milfoil and curly leaf pondweed, reduce siltation and pollution. Activities include chemical treatments, plant restoration, buffer strips, boat inspections, and increased garbage collection. The estimated costs range from $6,000 to $16,400 annually from 2009-2013. Potential funding sources include membership dues, city contributions, grants, taxes.
