Closing Up For The Season

September 22, 2024

Summer is officially in the rearview. Soon the winterized cabin goers will have the lakes to themselves! Either way, it’s time to protect your shorelines from the costly damage that freeze up brings. 

  

First and foremost, all boats should be out of the water. Some boat owners find a storage option off the lake, while savvier owners might install a lift in their boathouse for winter storage. Boats should be cleaned out, and any contents like towels or life jackets should be dried and removed.
  

Any floating docks pose a similar threat, and the lake can easily contort them beyond repair. By removing the floating portion and tying it safely to a section of shore, you can prevent any of the weaker joints in your dock from snapping once winter comes.
