GLQO's Mission
What is a Watershed?
Bodies of water are fed by groundwater and rainwater from the surrounding area. That area is known as a watershed.
The Gull Lake Watershed spans two counties and four townships. Needless to say, what happens anywhere within this area can and does impact Gull Lake and the other lakes, streams and marsh areas.

Get Involved!
Do
you want to contribute to
improving Gull Lake and its watershed?
Do you have ideas, skills, resources, and want to
improve the
area
with them? Do you know others with similar interests who would like to
do the same?
We encourage any interested persons to join the GLQO and/or let us know that you want to help out.
Remember: you do not need to be a member to get involved, and you do not need to live on Gull Lake to be a member!
Spotlight: Fisheries
Did You Know?...
- The number of documented fish species in Gull Lake rose from 18 in the 1991 survey to 26 in 2002. The new species include lake trout, smelt, alewives, darters and shiners.
- As the quality and clarity of Gull Lake improves, the number of weed-and-murk-loving largemouth bass decreases, while the number of Clearwater smallmouth bass has been increasing.
As part of ongoing fishing tournament bass mortality studies, some
are bass are jaw tagged by the DNR and released. If you find a fish in
Gull or other local lakes with such a tag, you are encouraged to let
the DNR know.
