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.

Tips for Lake Debris Removal
The Lake Debris Removal Program is a cooperative, community project. The water surface is publicly owned by the State of Idaho, so you’re on public property when you are on the water. In contrast, the shoreline is mostly private, and we want to be thoughtful about the homeowners and shoreline in Mokins Bay, where we have permission to stage lake debris before its removal in June.
