It could be another busy summer on Candlewood Lake as people take staycations again this year.  The Candlewood Lake Authority is calling on everyone to help preserve and protect the water by caring for the islands and shoreline.  CLA is also watching for more evidence of zebra mussels after more than 70 were identified last year.  They are collaborating with FirstLight to assess how impactful this winter’s deep drawdown was in battling the invasive species.  Candlewood Lake Stewards will be posted at some of the public boat launches certain days of the week to bring awareness of prevention strategies to boaters
