Lily pads have encroached upon every bank around the perimeter of Lake Gerry and have choked off access for many to the lake. Manual cutting and removal of the lily pads has proven to be an impossible task due to their rhyzome(root) structure. The Lake Gerry Association has been conducting several studies to address the lily pad issue and has contracted with a professional service to create a removal plan that will enhance the overall health of the lake, it's use and the health of the wildlife population.
