Industrial Road Sign – Name Additions
It is that time of year again when we invite members/property owners who want their names added to the sign to reach out to us.
If there is interest in the Association pursuing a similar sign for the Birch Point Road or Charles Road areas, please take this SURVEY by August 31, 2025 and we will tally the interest level.
Mail Theft Protection Ideas
One of the concerns brought up at the annual CLA meeting was regarding an increase in mail theft in the area.
While we would love to believe this doesn’t happen in our neighborhood, we are all hearing the increasing trend on our news feeds and, unfortunately, some of us have even experienced this personally.
Caribou Lake Loon Family
We have a new baby on the lake! This family was spotted off the end of Birch Point Road in the bay. The pictures are quite zoomed in to give the family space. Please be mindful of their space as we watch this little one grow.
Northland Alert – NERCC Notification
One of the concerns brought up at the CLA annual meeting was NERCC notification if there was an inmate escape. In February 2021, Northland Alert added the ability to subscribe to NERCC alerts, but many in attendance at our meeting weren’t aware of this service.
Northland Alert is an emergency notification system to alert the public about emergencies and other important community news.
Loon Nesting Season
As we quickly enter loon nesting season, we have placed our 3 loon nesting platforms from last year’s Eagle Scout project with the Proctor BSA troop #84. We have tried 3 locations close to shore but away from land predators. As you kayak and boat in the areas around our lake you will see the platforms by the Work Farm shoreline, Birch Point creek inlet, and at the little creek at the end of Sunny Lane. Please give the platforms and loons space to help preserve this beautiful bird.
Help Make a Difference!
We have entered the spring and summer lake season and the inevitable work we all have to do to put docks in and maintain our lake places each year. We are also quickly approaching weed harvesting season and the many expenses that come with running, fueling, and maintaining the weed harvester that has helped our lake so much over the last couple seasons.
One easy way you can help is setting your Amazon purchases to use Amazon Smile and benefit our lake association.
Caribou Lake Apparel and Fundraiser for CLA!
A big thank you to Amanda Jo Carlson on Sunny Lane! She has designed a new logo for us, and arranged for a local company, Big Frog Custom T Shirts and More, to handle all apparel ordering, printing, mailing, and payments.
Eagle Scout Project – Loon Nesting Platforms
Starting June 30, 2020, CLA began meeting with Proctor BSA troop #84 regarding the building and placement of loon nesting platforms on Caribou Lake. The Eagle Scout Project was completed around the first of September and we are excited to share the photos and information with our Caribou Lake enthusiasts.
