Keeping your boats and bilges clean is crucial to prevent the spread of invasive species like zebra mussels. The Canadian Press reported on May 9 that due to the threat of zebra mussels the federal government is temporarily banning watercraft from Clear Lake a Manitoba lake popular with tourists.
The lake sits in Riding Mountain National Park in western Manitoba and is a hub of summertime activity.
Parks Canada says personal watercraft, including non-motorized craft such as canoes and standup paddle boards will also not be allowed on Clear Lake.
