Living on Lake Gaston means having aquatic plants growing along the shoreline and in the water as well. It's good to know something about aquatic vegetation such as, is it desirable vegetation for fisheries, wildlife and water quality or is undesirable vegetation? Not everyone can identify aquatic plants without some tools to help with the identification. Many times folks will say "we've got lilly pads growing in the water", but not every floating aquatic plant is a lily pad! The attached LKG Aquatic Plant ID Booklet is intended to help folks identify what aquatic vegetation is present in the water around their dock, shoreline and elsewhere around the lake. Take a look and see what aquatic vegetation you can identify in LKG!
