Invasive and Noxious plants threaten the dynamic ecosystem of the Hayden Lake Watershed. All stakeholders invest considerable time and money into managing these invaders. But there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. Learn how best to care for the aquatic plant life in Hayden Lake and join in the effort to make and keep Hayden Lake invader-free.
Join the Hayden Lake Watershed Improvement District for important presentations from the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) and Kootenai County (KC). Learn about invasive and noxious species that threaten our Hayden Lake Watershed. Don’t miss this chance to stay informed!
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) has shared early summer updates about this season’s testing and treatment of invasive and noxious aquatic weeds on Hayden Lake:
ISDA’s weed surveys are complete, and they have found Eurasian Watermilfoil in Hayden Lake again this year.
Hayden Lake has been central in the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISD) sites in recent weeks. Since July is the month for invasive Eurasian Watermilfoil / Hybrid Watermilfoil (EWM) to reach its nuisance stage, ISDA has worked diligently to identify infestations and treat them responsibly.
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is charged with managing invasive aquatic plants across Idaho. Current invaders in Hayden Lake include Curlyleaf Pondweed and Eurasian and Hybrid Milfoil. ISDA makes every effort to target these invasive weeds with the least impact on native plants or the natural ecosystem. We are grateful for their investment in Hayden Lake and their service to the Lake and its residents.

On April 13, the HLWID hosted the 2021 Annual Spring Community Meeting: Weeds and More. This second in a series of three posts summarizes Dr. Kim Holzer/ISDA’s presentation on managing native aquatic plants for invasive weed suppression. (Part 1: 2021 Weed Treatment Plans; Part 3: KCSO on Hayden Lake)
Idaho State Department of Agriculture will treat designated areas of Hayden Lake for Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM) during the week of August 20-25, depending upon weather conditions.
It seems unfair, giving all the attention to the North Arm of the lake. The Main Body of the lake is not without its weed concerns too.
Residents have raised concerns about increased weed growth on the north end of the lake. This leads us to wonder, what’s going on up there?
