Common questions about Lake Onderdonk

Send a message to honkers@lakeonderdonk.org if you've got more questions and we'll do our best to answer.

  • Is this a public or private lake?

    This is a private lake.

  • Are boats allowed on the lake?

    Yes. Please make certain that if you have had your boat in another lake that it has been cleaned to prevent the spread of zebra mussels and other invasive species. So far, Lake Onderdonk has no zebra mussels. Also, be kind to your neighbors. Operate your boat safely and watch for swimmers in the lake.

  • Are there any invasive species in the lake?

    We are actively involved in fighting water chestnuts. Residents have organized to pull these invasive plants when necessary. We've managed to control the spread and are working to eliminate these plants from our lake completely. Contact us for more info.

  • Can kayakers use the boat launch at the northern end of the lake?

    Yes, they can. In fact, kayaking is probably the best way to tour the lake.
