Parks Canada has confirmed the presence of juvenile zebra mussels in Clear Lake, Riding Mountain National Park, first detected in November 2023. Despite efforts to contain the invasion, including a temporary ban on personal watercraft and a failed containment curtain, the situation remains critical. Parks Canada is seeking expert advice on eradication methods and will continue monitoring the lake's ecosystem for further signs of the invasive species. Boat Cove remains closed to the public.
