The VAST trail crosses Star Lake, thus the sled tracks. They Star Lake Association (or Friends of Star Lake or something like that) did some research to see what could be done to kill off the milfoil and return the lake to better recreational use. The decided to use a product called Sonar. It was a pretty pricey experiment and required 2 doses (as I recall). The association raised enough money to do the first dose but that seemed to have a nearly nil effect and then second dose was never administered (as I understand it). The lake has gotten progressively more choked with milfoil as the years have passed. You'd have to literally drop your bait on a fishes head to get them to see anything in there it is so bad. Over near the beach area (behind the Oddfellows Hall) there is less milfoil, the swimmers keep it pulled back I guess and in the summer kids will drop a worm on a hook from the retaining wall and get a small perch here and there but that's about it.
