  • PUBLIC NOTICE: 2026 Milfoil Treatment

    18 Jun 2026 10:09 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Communicating this notice to our lake community is part of the due diligence required to obtain a signature waiver per the DNR permit approval process.

    RCWD provided their annual delineation map that was conducted on June 1. Heavy EAW growth was identified on the norther side of the lake and will be targeted for weed treatment.

    We will be contracting with Lake Management Inc and will determine a treatment date contingent on permit approval, which we intend to procure ASAP.

    If you desire that the treatment not occur adjacent to your property, please contact us at llianewbrighton@gmail.org with your address and we'll inform the treatment company.


  • 2026 Milfoil Delineation Map

    18 Jun 2026 10:07 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Hello, friends and neighbors.  I want to update you on our weed status this year.  

    To the right, RCWD has provided their annual Milfoil delineation map, showing where this invasive weed exists on the lake.  A major knock down compared to years past!

    I'm relieved to see that our investment in the ProcellaCOR treatment starting in 2024 is proving to be effective.  If you look at our treatment history that shows what we've done since 2020, you can see a sharp knock down in milfoil year to year: 2026 Treatment History.jpg

    As for my own dock, I have some curly leaf pond weed, which typically dies off at the end of June and had to rake some shallower weeds, but I haven't seen Milfoil!

    Our plan is to treat whatever Milfoil we're allowed to, so we're awaiting the go ahead from RCWD that's needed to get our permit and apply to the North Basin.  

    Thank you for your support and the City of New Brighton for being a good partner in this by splitting treatment costs 50/50.  IT'S CLEARLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

    Most importantly, be SAFE out there and abide by our lake rules ~ because you live on the lake doesn't make you special.  

    - John

    Hello, all ~ We had our annual meeting last night and I want to share the details for those unable to attend:

  • 2025 Ramsey County Watercraft Inspection Report

    26 Jan 2026 11:22 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Hi, folks ~ I wanted to share a report provided by Watercraft Restoration regarding Ramsey County Watercraft Inspection results for 2025.  It has some interesting information.  Long Lake was the second busiest launch in the county behind Turtle Lake.  

    Ramsey WR WIP Report 2025.pdf

    We contract with the Ramsey County and Waterfront Restoration for boat inspections and monitoring at the landing.  We are looking for more creative options for 2026 due to rising costs, so if anyone has a teen or college student looking for a side job this summer we'd be interested in a conversation.  It's weekends from 11:00AM to 7:00PM plus Memorial Day and 4th of July.

  • Plant Survey & Water Quality Reports

    9 May 2025 9:13 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    As a follow up to our Annual Meeting, RCWD provided the following reports:

    • LongLake WQ thru 2024.docx - Summer averages (June-Sept) for Secchi (water clarity), phosphorus, and chl-a (algae). 
    • Long Lake RCWD R24 2-10-25.pdf -  Here is the plant survey conducted last summer (August 2024).  There was a question about ‘what native species are present?’  See Table 1.  Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) was by far the most common native plant.  Elodea (Canada waterweed), stringy pondweed (Potamogeton spp.), and flatstem pondweed (P. zosteriformis) were also common.  More info here: DNR - Aquatic Plants: Submerged Plants


  • LLIA 2025 Annual Meeting Minutes (and more!)

    Thanks to those that were able to attend yesterday's annual meeting.  If not, you can get caught up with the following:

    Some interesting items shared by Rice Creek Watershed's Matt Kocian regarding the state of Long Lake's phosphorous levels, carp, and invasive/non-invasive weeds.  

    We continue to look for help within LLIA to assist with Member Engagement.  Please reach out to me if interested in getting more involved with our community.  


  • LLIA Awarded $3,500 DNR Grant

    5 Apr 2025 9:46 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Hello, all ~ The ice is off the lake and time to start prepping for summer lake life.  A couple things to share:

    • DNR Grant Award: We applied for a DNR Grant and were awarded $3,500 for weed treatment.  Weed treatment costs have been going up as we've switched to products that have a longer lasting effect, so this funding will help us manage that. Big thanks to Jennifer Tenenbaum who manages this for us.  
    • Goose Nests - If you see a nest email us.  We'll be visiting their usually haunts in the next week or two for addling. 
    • Annual Meeting - I'm planning this for May 1 at 7:00 PM.  Details forthcoming. If you know of new lake residents, please point them to LLIA.

    Be SAFE!

    Separately: RCWD's spring carp management efforts will be wrapping up soon.  We’re on track to remove only 2500 carp this year, down from ~14,000/yr in recent years.  The reason: The carp population is significantly lower this year.  Removing 2500 still meets our goal of at least 50% (we think we’ve removed more like 60-70% this year).  We’re hoping to see some improvements in water clarity very soon.
