Church Pine Lake, Polk County- Critical Habitat Designation
Lake Sensitive Area Survey results identified two areas that merit special protection of the aquatic habitat. The entire littoral zone of Church Pine Lake has a very diverse plant community and should be protected by all means. These designated sensitive areas of aquatic vegetation on Church Pine Lake offer critical or unique fish and wildlife habitat. These habitats provide the necessary seasonal or life stage requirements of the associated fisheries, and the aquatic vegetation offers water quality or erosion control benefits to the body of water.
