Love Your Lake Website
This website has tips on how to maintain a shoreline buffer, how to prevent erosion, know which docks are the most environmentally friendly or something else that’s impacting your shoreline and lake. More details here…
Lake Safety – Be Wake Smart!
With the high water levels this year and many residents and guests out enjoying the lake, please remember to exercise extreme caution when boating or operating watercraft on Nakamun Lake. Please be respectful of other lake-goers, avoid environmentally sensitive areas, and be safe.
Please avoid causing unnecessary wakes near the shoreline, boat launch or in the vicinity of other watercraft’s. Large wakes are a safety concern for the community and may also result in shoreline erosion, negatively impact environmentally sensitive areas/processes, and stir up lake sediment.
Let’s maintain a healthy lake we can all enjoy!

There are new requirements in place for placing a dock in the lake! The User Guide for Dock Permits outlines the requirements and process for an individual to obtain an authorization to place a temporary, seasonal dock for personal recreational use in Alberta’s water bodies.
