Our September, 2009 survey found four native and two invasive aquatic plants. The invasive species were Najas minor and Potamogeton crispus. Najas minor carpeted the western cove of the lake and Potamogeton crispus occurred in small patches along the eastern and northern shores. The most prevalent native species was Potamogeton pusillus which we found in the center of the lake in small patches. Wolffia sp. covered the southeastern cove and Lemna minor was present in the two eastern coves.
