Door County continues the drawdown of the Forestville Millpond.  The Facilities and Parks Department says six-months into the process it is working as well as expected.  The efforts to dry out the millpond bottom, however, could be impacted by heavy rains over the summer.  Facilities and Parks Director Wayne Spritka says his department regularly inspects the Forestville Dam to ensure the drawdown runs smoothly.

The drawdown at the Forestville Millpond is designed to improve the pond's depth, improve fish stocks and control invasive aquatic plants.  It started in late 2019 and is currently scheduled to continue through September 2021.
