Since the early 1900’s we, our children and now their children have grown up coming out and enjoying Lac La Nonne. Our membership is a diverse community of people: cottagers, campers, businesses, residents and visitors. We all come to enjoy the beauty and amenities here at “our little paradise”. Over the last 25 years LEPA have been working to address the health of the lake and to celebrate our community accomplishments. As volunteers, passion is our main asset, our one of are rewards is seeing our community get together for a lakeshore information walk or potluck supper; attending our workshops and fundraisers; or commenting on our newsletter. We striving to conserve our natural areas, the lake and our way of life.
DAMAGE TO SHORELINE BY QUADS & MOTORBIKES
As the water in Lac La Nonne recedes, more shoreline and lakebed is being exposed offering an alluring invitation to Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) operators to traverse these highly sensitive areas. Unfortunately the damage from continued usage and the need to establish several depths of ruts along with the destruction of vegetation on these new motocross trails will take generations to restore if ever. This increased lack of respect for the land and the resultant eye soars has led many to believe the only solution would be the limiting of OHV to designated trails and banning them within the rest of the county, including roadways.
We all wish to enjoy the great outdoors here at the lake without restricting anyone's opportunities, quadders or those seeking peace and quiet. Respect for nature and respect for your neighbors is an aspect necessary for all lake users.
