New Camp - Lake Water and Garbage
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2019 10:01 am
In the process of purchasing a camp on the south end of Black lake. Somewhat familiar with the "camp" life but have a few questions:
1. Camp has water drawn from the lake. Obviously it won't be used for drinking water but do you feel comfortable doing dishes / washing hands / taking showers with lake water? I know the lake can have Algae issues (like any other lake) but will these issues render the camp with no usable water (does this algae only float to the top as the water line is farther out and on the bottom).
2. At our old camp on pleasant lake we had to bring our garbage bags back home with us (2 hour drive), does everyone do this or are there other alternatives?
Looking forward to Black lake life and hearing any helpful responses. Thank you.
