Lizard Lake Restoration
A new effort to restore Lizard Lake is currently underway.
Pocahontas county, Iowa DNR, NRCS, Iowa State University and other local agencies have come together to study the lake and its watershed. The ISU limnology lab, which is currently studying over 130 Iowa lakes will be performing a diagnostic/feasibility study for Lizard Lake this year.
A town hall meeting in Gilmore City, IA was held Feb. 15th, 2007 informing area residents of the diagnostic/feasibility study. There was quite a turn out for this meeting despite the frigid temperatures. Prof. John Downing of Iowa State University gave a very informative presentation about the lake and other lake restoration efforts.
