Lower Pine Lake - Polk County-Critical Habitat Designation

Lake Sensitive Area Survey results identified the entire littoral zone of Lower Pine Lake merits special protection of the aquatic plant habitat. Lower Pine Lake is an oligotrophic lake with limited nutrients to support aquatic plant habitat resulting in a very sparse distribution increasing the importance of protecting what little vegetation is occurring within the littoral zone around the entire perimeter of the lake. Since vegetation is sparse or absent throughout the entire lake all native aquatic plants should be viewed as providing critical habitat and should be protected against removal or herbicide treatment.
