Some visitors wish to pay for the rental of a boat at Hummel Lake, but there is currently no charge for those vessels which some owners generously contributed and did not tie up.

Those who are contributing boats, lifejackets etc, should ensure that they are in good to excellent condition. Please do not endanger anyone.

Bushes blocking the view at the entrance have been removed, thus reducing the risk of bikers, or anyone getting clipped by speeding vehicles.

Robert Lantiegne, Access Area Manager for the Wildlife Program at Fish and Wildlife, recently informed us that Hummel Lake was one of their favorite places. Why? “For its relatively undisturbed pristine state and subsequent attraction to wildlife.” Robert brought gravel for the potholes, supplies for the outhouse, cleared many areas and removed wrecked boats.

Visitors should be aware that activities at the lake are the personal responsibility of the individual.
