Starting in June 2014, you may have noticed colorful new signs dotting the streets surrounding the lake.  If you see a sign, this means that you are in the Crystal Lake watershed and that water drains to the lake from these areas either directly or via storm drains.  These signs came about as a result of a collaborative effort between city officials including the Parks & Recreation department and the Crystal Lake Conservancy.   The signs show activities to be mindful of when in the watershed so that Crystal Lake can continue to be a viable and beautiful natural resource in the coming years.
