Location: Maplewood, MN | Can someone point me in the right direction to find out what are some common weeds in lakes? I know of cabbage and coontail, but how do you ID them and where do they typically grow relating to the lake? Thanks. |

Location: Mayville, WI | The MN DNR has a fairly good site for aquatic plants - follow the links on the left for information by species:
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/shorelandmgmt/apg/index.html
PA has a really nice .pdf guide available online. Though some species may not be found in your region it covers all the most common ones & is one of the better online guides I've found yet:
http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/freepubs/pdfs/agrs110.pdf
If you're looking for some sit-down book versions, I suggest either "Through the Looking Glass" (a great beginners guide!) or "Aquatic Plants of Wisconsin" by Paul Skawinski - this has excellent photos of each plant and is very comprehensive. I work with aquatics year-round, if you're looking for any more info, feel free to PM me.
(it's "plants" btw, weeds grow in your garden  )
