Geese on the Lake
All paperwork was completed this year for the Nest/Egg Destruction and Round-Up on Barnes Lake. Goose Busters was able to come out, a week later than usual, and get 7 nests and 38 eggs. Our information was submitted to the DNR. Unfortunately, the Goose Round-Up program has been significantly cut down this year due to
COVID-19. Based on the criteria that the state has determined Barnes Lake is ineligible this year for Round-Up. The Lake Board will be refunded for the permit fees. Next year we should be able to resume a normal round up program. Thank you and stay safe! Neighborhood Watch
PLEASE report any and all incidences of vandalism and "pranks" to the police. The telephone number for the non-emergency dispatch is 810-667-0292.

Beach Gate Rules
COMING SOON TO THE BEACH!
New Electric Beach Entrance Gate PLEASE READ THIS NEW INFO I would like to try and explain what we are going to be Installing at the beach. Over 20 years ago we installed the electric boat launch gate. This gate has helped immensely, to keep our lake private by only allowing Barnes Lake Property owners to launch their boats. Our Beach is maintained by the Barnes Lake Club and it is also Private and is to be used by Barnes Lake Property owners only. The past years we have found many many non Barnes Lake Property Owners using our facilities at the Beach. So now we are in the process of installing an electric gate at the beach entrance. This new electric beach gate can be used with the same Boat Gate card you have been using to open the boat launch gate. IF you DO NOT have a BOAT GATE CARD, you can purchase a Beach gate card for $5.00. You must prove /show that you are a Barnes Lake resident/property owner to receive a card. Please call/text or email Linda Zukonik 810-441-7042 zuk50e@yahoo.com with your name, number and cottage address. Linda Z. will place you on the list to receive a card and call you when the gate is installed and ready for use. You cannot send your $5.00 in, you must see Linda Z. and sign a form that you have received the card (and if you lose the card, you will pay $50.00 to replace it). We are hoping this will help keep our beach area private! If you have any questions, please feel free to call me & include your name, number and cottage address. Sincerely, Linda Zukonik Summer Flotilla

The pavilion, benches, picnic tables, well, port-a-john and swings have been provided by Barnes Lake Club for the use of all property owners. These amenities make using the beach area more convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone visiting there.

Beach cards have been provided to all property owners. If you invite a guest to use the beach area you are expected to be with them or provide YOUR beach card to them. Anyone who is not a property owner and cannot show a beach card will be asked to leave the premises.
