Lake Management
Aquatic Vegetation Management
Aquatic plants play an important role in lake ecosystems—they provide habitat for fish, improve water quality, and help stabilize sediments. However, when vegetation becomes too dense, it can interfere with fishing and boating. We monitor and manage aquatic vegetation to keep our lakes healthy and accessible.
🌾 Water Najas (Najas guadalupensis, aka Southern Naiad)
Currently our main concern on Lake Greenwood Leflore.
- Description: A submerged plant with fine leaves, often found in shallow areas.
- Concerns: Can grow rapidly and become tangled in fishing lines or boat props.
- Control: Can be managed using aquatic herbicides such as diquat or chelated copper; raking may also be used. Learn more about our focused management effort on the Water Najas Updates page.
🌿 Aquatic Primrose (Ludwigia spp.)
- Description: A fast-growing plant that spreads along the shoreline and over the water surface.
- Concerns: Can restrict easy access, clogs boat areas, and become unsightly.
- Control: Can be treated with approved aquatic herbicides like 2,4-D or ShoreKlear (a glyphosate-based herbicide), both approved for aquatic use.
Fish Stocking Updates
June 2025 – Triploid Grass Carp stocked in Lake Greenwood Leflore to help manage vegetation.
April 2024 – Fathead Minnows were put into Lake Greenwood Leflore and Chief Chisca Lake. This was at the recommendation of the MSDWF to improve the fish quality.
