Lake Chemung is approximately 320 acres in size and is located in Livingston County. The bird associated with our lake is the Blue Heron. The lake is a spring-fed freshwater lake and is approximately 70-80 feet in its deepest portion. The lake is an all-sports lake and is also known for its excellent fishing. |

make their baskets touch the lake.

Lake Residents...
We need for you to complete the following survey about your water well...
The LCRA needs residents to provide information about their water well so that our lake manager can determine if the chemical 2,4-D can be used to control nuisance Eurasian Watermilfoil in the lake. Please help us provide the MDEQ with information so that they can determine if we can use this chemical. Thank you for your help.

2008 Boater Safety Classes - Schedule and Locations in Livingston County PRESS RELEASE - June 16, 2008... CONTACT: Gary Whelan 517-373-1280, Todd Grischke 517-373-1280 or Ann Wilson 906-228-6561 Anglers Can Help Slow the Spread of Fish Disease As summer approaches and fishing season shifts into high gear, the Department of Natural Resources is reminding anglers that preventing the spread viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) will take the effort of everyone. Although long known in Europe, VHS is a relatively new disease to the Great Lakes region that is capable of killing numerous species of fish by causing internal bleeding. First discovered in the Great Lakes in 2005, VHS has caused fish kills in northern Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River, Lake Erie, and inland in Budd Lake near Harrison. Anglers can help prevent the spread of disease by following two simple rules: Don't move water and don't move fish. Anglers are asked to empty their live wells and bilges when they leave a lake or river. Live wells should be disinfected with one half-cup bleach per five gallons of water before the boat is launched on another body of water. Fish should never be moved from one body of water to another, including minnows used for bait. Please dispose of leftover minnows away from the water; do not empty your bait bucket into the lake, which is illegal. Anglers who collect their own minnows should use them only in the same waters where they were collected. Certified VHS-free minnows can be used anywhere in the state and now are widely available in bait shops. Uncertified minnows may be used in the specific VHSv Management Areas indicated on the receipt provided by the bait shop. If there is any doubt, anglers should use uncertified bait only in the VHSv Positive Management Areas. There is no known treatment for VHS in a lake or river. Preventing the spread of VHS is the best way to protect Michigan's fish stocks from the disease. For more information on VHS, visit the DNR Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/dnrfishing The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural resources for current and future generations.
