2026 Lake Debris Removal Program – Keeping Hayden Lake Safe and Clean
Use a contractor for old-dock removal when replacing. Use the LDRP to clear you property
Floating logs, damaged docks, dislodged weeds, or trash — any free-floating items in the water present hazards to boaters, anglers, and wildlife. The prevailing winds on the lake tend to drive this debris into the corners of the lake, i.e., Mokins Bay and the far reaches of the North Arm. In the spring, the Watershed Improvement District sponsors a Debris Removal from Mokins Bay. At other times of the year, we depend on one another to be good citizens, to remove hazards from the water, and dispose of them properly for everyone’s safety and health.
