No boat launch
The ?boat launch? on Alder is incorrect. It is ok for canoes and kayaks but is not suitable for trailers. Reviewed Jul 4, 2023

They just did a fish survey on Alder using electric shock and they found 0 yes zero walleyes. Use to have the best fish per acre and now none were found. Could it be all the weeds in this once wonderful lake since we have 3 cranberry marshes drawing water for their use. They say that the water is cleaner when they return it to Alder but what does cleaner mean?
