Located at 37.3366° north and 119.5794° west you will find Bass Lake California. Willow creek found at the north end of the lake and Yosemite national Park east of the lake town can give you physical examples of the area, when you enter the town you drive down a mountain into town that is easily identifiable once in Bass Lake if looking west. Bass Lake covers an area of 2.493 miles the lake's temperature changes throughout the year getting up to 89 degrees F in July and as low as 28 degrees F and December. Oak Woodland and grassland make up much of Bass Lakes terrain. The Lake itself is a beautiful feature of the area but you can also find pine trees along the willow creek the leads into the river or travel 17 miles of the road and find Half Dome inside Yosemite National Park.

The Battle of Lake Champlain was an important victory because it created a dent in the British plan to invade from the North and it ultimately convinced the British to surrender the War of 1812, which caused the US to gain worldwide respect. To begin, the British had been trying to invade America from the south, but they had very little success. They then decided to try and invade from the North, using Plattsburg, a city on the shores of Lake Champlain, as their headquarters for the invasion. This is why it was so vital that the US won the Battle of Lake Champlain because it hurt the British plan to invade by destroying a major part of their plan. This also convinced them that it would be too difficult and expensive for the benefit they would

Located approximately ten miles west of Nacogdoches, Texas, Lake Nacogdoches is continuing to provide beautiful real estate for Texans and Texas newcomers alike. Covering over two thousand acres, Lake Nacogdoches is known for its beautiful lakefront properties, as well as well as lakefront outdoor activities. In purchasing on or near the lake, there is much to see and do in the area, as well as in surrounding areas.

Today, what once was a scenic lake is covered in chest-high weeds. “ Boaters and fisherman enjoy going to Lake Bridgeport during the summer. But in the summer of 2013 the boat ramps were unusable so the number of residents going to the lake dropped. There are dead fish floating to the shoreline as well as many other wildlife animals. The lake tested positive for Zebra Mussel larva, which is shell like creatures that are very sharp and stick to boats, anchors and docks. The Mussels are very dangerous for the lake environment, but they also eat bacteria so they could help the lake water clear up. If no water is drained out of Lake Bridgeport then the residents of Eagle Mountain Lake and Lake Worth could possibly run out of drinking water.

The wild life of Lake Argyle is very inhabitant, as there were many beautiful and majestic creatures that weren’t so shy to expose themselves to our presents. The wild life plays a huge part in this man-made lake, because not

: Larchwood Lake may not ever be the same again. The story about Larchwood Lake is not that uncommon. Without doing extensive research into possible things that could occur by lowering the lake level, the Larchwood Lake Homeowner’s Association destroyed the very thing they were trying to protect. Carelessness and poor planning are not the only root causes however. There are a number of reasons that led to the degradation of Larchwood Lake that happen to relate to more macro level environmental issues. Those reasons are poorly designed environmental policy created by the E.P.A., poor understanding of lake ecology by the managers of the land, and false confidence in poorly planned ideas. By looking at how these factors contributed to the degradation of the lake, hopefully we will be able to make more ecological sound decisions in the future.

More than 24 billion gallons of untreated sewage waste and storm water are pumped into the lakes annually. Pollution is increasing as well, due to the cottage development, where people enjoy spending their summers relaxing. For many years, the lake habitats have been affected by pollution and habitat destruction. The market for fish is tremendous; so much so, that we have depleted our fishing resources, and have had to market on invasive species.

Me: Ethephon contains bacteria which are harmful towards the specific turf that you are cultivating. Due to the bacteria, the roots of your florae will eventually loosen to the point where the soils will drop into the river. This will add to the build-up of sediments. Ultimately, the contaminated river will cause blockage. The ecosystem living in the body of water would die off or be forced to migrate.

In the high desert mountains of Eastern border California there are slopes and valleys covered in grass with the sun shining brightly around the foothills and clouds forming on the surface of the land. In cold temperatures, water vapor crystallizes the air into microscopic snowflakes. The grassy shores surrounds blue water, and in the center you will find an ancient volcanic cone. This landscape is called Mono Lake. I chose to write about the Mono Indian Language after a friend had shown me pictures of her road trip to Mono Lake, which was so unbelievable beautiful I thought it would be an interesting language to write and learn about. This lake, to my surprise is in California, and Mono Lake was an important part of the Mono

At the bottom of the Missouri's streams lives the Lampsilis siliquoidea mussels where it lives out its life cycle. How it lives it's brilliant life cycle is first by luring a smallmouth bass over to it by copycatting the movement and the appearance of a Tartars fish tail which is actually the skin of the mussels which has over time evolved. Once the bass notices the lure and strikes the lure the muscle spews out a white cloud into the bass's mouth and gills which happen to be thousands of larvaes where they will live off the bass for nutrients. Its also safer for them to transition from larvae into juvenile mussels. After a couple of weeks the young mussels abandon the bass dropping leaving the basses unharmed and unaware of what happened making

Some people may claim that zebra mussels are not a widespread threat. They may argue that the species affects only a small area. However, a disruption of a food chain is a major threat to all the animals-and people-in the environment.

Summer is the time for vacations, adventures, and relaxation. However, some family trips can be unpredictable. There is one particular family trip that comes to mind. We got up early to pack up our twenty- eight foot pontoon boat with everything we needed for the day. Summer was in full swing. We were excited to spend the day at the lake with family and friends. Today was the day we were going to try Lake Roosevelt because we heard that it is the perfect place to swim, boat and relax. Just as we turned the corner to pull into the parking lot of the lake, we hit our first bump in the road of unfortunate events. We actually really did hit a bump and ended up getting two flat tires. Unfortunately, we only had one spare tire, so that was a

In 2006, Armstrong Park park and Lake George were underwater for almost two weeks, killing all the plants and most of the trees. Lake George was so over filled by these rains that it became one giant body of water with the Creek down the road. The stocked lake was freshly filled, sending fish down the Creek. Truthfully only the lucky fish got away. Most of the

Some examples include the zebra mussel, sea lamprey, and Asian carp. The zebra mussel first came to the great lakes by traveling in the ballast water of a transoceanic vessel. Over the years, it has spread into the entire great lakes system. They are very dense with contaminants, which causes predators to stray away from them and not digest them. The zebra mussel has had many negative impacts on the ecosystem. A zebra mussel can attach themselves firmly to any solid object, which has caused water intake and discharge pipes to clog. Some other impacts include suppressing native mussels, over clarifying the water, and stripping water from various plankton that native fish eat. Sea lamprey are another invasive species in the great lakes. A sea lamprey is an eel like fish that sucks bodily fluids from other fish. They have traveled to the great lakes on their own by swimming up the Hudson River. They have contributed to the collapse of the whitefish and lake trout fisheries. Some prevention actions have been put in place and include chemical treatments of spawning

Not all infested lakes say they are. The DNR Believes that “ Female zebra mussels can produce 100,000 to 500,000 eggs per year.”(Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)page 1). In other words, it only takes one female zebra mussel to completely infest a lake. This shows that it is important to not let one member of an invasive species get to an uninfested lake. This information then leads one to believe that all lakes need to post that they are infested.
