Manitook Lake Description
For more info see State Anglers guide
MANITOOK LAKE, Granby (57 acres) Species: (LMB S) Note: Ice fishing permitted on weekends only. Other: 5 mph speed limit in restricted areas. Use of motors in excess of 7-1/2 hp prohibited on Saturdays. Manitook Lake is naturally fed by a stream that enters at the north end after running through an active sand and gravel pit. Water flows out of the lake through the long, shallow channel to the south. A now-closed municipal landfill sits on a wooded slope above the east side of the lake, and homes have been built on the western side. Residents in this area are members of a lake association that prohibits public use of the lake but permits boating, including use of boats with motors. Association members have been concerned that aquatic plants could interfere with recreational use of the lake and asked that it be surveyed in 2004. One resident said septic systems serving homes on the west side of the lake may be inadequate and that lawn fertilizer may raise nutrient levels in the lake water above natural levels. The 56.9-acre Manitook Lake supports a diverse community of aquatic plants, including at least 23 species. No single species was dominant, but many species were abundant.
