Summary

The June 1988 Beaver Beacon reports loon nesting observations at North Font, Middle Font, Barney’s, Green’s, and Geneserath Lakes. It also reiterates a seven-horsepower and no-wake restriction on the lakes other than Geneserath to protect nesting loons.

Evidence limits

These are local observations and a newspaper-reported rule, not a complete wildlife survey, enforcement record, or DNR dataset.
