Shoreline Erosion

A major issue facing many lakes is erosion along the shore. With its limestone and clay geography, Grand Lake is no exception. Erosion is caused by several factors including waves, stormwater runoff, wind, bank slope and lack of vegetation.

When too much soil gets washed into a lake, it can carry pollutants with it such as nutrients that can increase the amount of algae in the lake and can make the lake appear cloudy or red. Other problems caused by erosion include the loss of land and infrastructure damage.
