What's New at Lake Carmi?

Here you will find the latest news about Lake Carmi

July 15: The health department has issued a warning and closed the State Park due to extensive cyanobacteria blooms. See our new photo journal for cyanobacteria blooms under the "Objectives" tab at the top of the page 

Water Quality Project Kickoff!

On June 29th the Water Quality Project Kickoff meeting was held with the Franklin County Natural Resources District to discuss upcoming Best Management Practice projects. This summer, the FCNRCD will be gathering an inventory of existing BMPs and future BMP projects to improve water quality around the lake. In order to achieve this goal we want YOUR input! 
The FCNRCD would love feedback on the following questions:
  • What is important to you about Lake Carmi? What is your vision for Lake Carmi?
  • Would you be willing to host us to come to your neighborhood and talk about this project and connect with neighbors? Are there community events that we should attend?
  • Are there areas around the lake where significant progress has been made that we should know about?
  • Are there areas around the lake where there are opportunities for future BMP work – for example, an area of shoreline that can be revegetated, or a streambank that is eroding?
If you think your property could be a potential site for BMP work then contact the FCNRCD at info@franklincountynrcd.org. 
For more information about the Best Management Practice Project visit https://www.franklincountynrcd.org/lakecarmi  

​We would love to hear from you!
