Information: Although most references to Ball Lake in existing reports refer to the lake as a natural water body, it is believed that Ball Lake is a manmade water body, created in the 1800s by surface extraction mining using a dragline (K. Shank, pers. Comm. 2001). It is not known for certain what material or mineral was being extracted.

Eurasian watermilfoil does not appear to need controlling at this time. Benthic mats are
suggested for creating boating access lanes if it becomes too difficult to get a boat from
shore out into the deeper parts of the lake. Signs should be created and placed at public access points that serve to educate lake visitors so that Eurasian watermilfoil is not spread to other waterways.
