Ontario County strives to adapt the harvesting program to dynamic lake conditions while maintaining lake access for residents and visitors.
Below is our tentative schedule (subject to change) for operations once in the lake.
| MONDAY - THURSDAY ACTIVITIES |
June 25 - June 29

Waterline Marking
Shoreline Collection
Limited Harvesting by Request |
| July 2 - July 6 |
Weed Harvesting Shoreline Collection
NO WORK ON WED-FRI, JULY 4,5 or 6 due to holiday and staff obligations |
| July 9 - September 13 |
Weed Harvesting Shoreline Collection
Post Labor Day cutting aimed at nutrient removal before plants die and decompose in the lake |
Operations occur Monday through Thursday, with effort split between Shoreline Collection (early in the morning) and Harvesting (late morning, afternoons). This schedule will vary based on weather and lake conditions.
Harvesting will be focus on areas where plant growth is at or near the surface of the water. For some areas, this will likely mean three visits during the season, where other areas will see one or two visits, or none at all if weed growth is minimal or absent.
Residents are encouraged to contact us to request more (or less) harvesting. Our goal is to meet your needs. Residents who prefer to not have the harvester cut in front their shoreline should also contact us to express and/or update their preferences.
