This webinar will examine the steps necessary to develop a boat wash station, including permitting, design, and costs.

After the discovery of Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM) in Lake Leelanau in 2019, the Lake Leelanau Lake Association recognized the need for boat wash stations to prevent the further introduction of invasive species and to limit the spread of EWM from Lake Leelanau to other lakes. With 14 public access sites on Lake Leelanau, the team began by investigating the possibility of building a boat wash station at the lake’s busiest (DNR) boat access site.  With a handful of obstacles, the boat wash station eventually came to fruition and paved the way for 3 more boat wash stations over the next three years.
