Lake Description & Overview
Glawe is a small natural environment, that is separated from Curfman Lake by a 250 foot wide land bridge along its northern shoreline. Water quality on Lake Glawe is stable and the lake is classified as mesotrophic. There is significant macrophyte growth along the shoreline.
Development around the lake has increased in recent years with the construction of the Golden Bay Shores development along the NE shoreline. Stormwater from the development is treated via stormwater ponds on the north side of the lake prior to discharge into Glawe. A new single family residential development is also under construction on the east side of the lake. Shoreline vegetation removal from residential home construction should be minimized to avoid negative impacts to these small, sensitive lakes.
In addition to the residential development, there is a commercial campground located along the southern shoreline. The majority of the campground sites are outside of the drainage area, but do allow lake access for clients for non-motorized lake use (i.e. paddle boats). Currently there is no watercraft access and there is no motorized boat use.
