There are two types of invasive plant species of Sand Lake to look out for!  The links below will provide further information.

Starry Stonewort

This submerged annual macroalga invades lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and slow moving rivers. It will inhabit freshwater habitats ranging from 3 feet to 95 feet in depth.

Eurasian Watermilfoil

Eurasian watermilfoil inhabits water bodies ranging from fresh to brackish. Areas that have been disturbed are prime habitats for this species.  Eurasian watermilfoil is very resistant and can overwinter in frozen lakes and ponds in the northern U.S. or survive over-heated bays in southern states.
