July was proclaimed the month for celebrating our wonderful lakes, ponds, and reservoirs beginning in 2019. Sponsored  through the North American Lake Management Society, Lakes Appreciation Month is meant to highlight the importance of these waters to our livelihoods and give you opportunity to make them even better.
