If you’re an avid water enthusiast, be on the lookout for an invasive aquatic plant. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife said hydrilla has been found in several areas of Cave Run Lake near Morehead, with established strands also in Dewey, Kentucky, Paintsville, Greenbo, and Carr Creek Lakes. The plant can grow 1 inch a day and double its size every two weeks. Left uncontrolled, it can choke out native plant species, harm fish, and clog waterways for boaters. Officials urge boaters to take precautions after visiting Cave Run Lake, such as removing all plant material off boats, motors, and trailers after pulling the boat from the water. If pieces of plant remain, consider spraying and scrubbing off watercraft and trailers at home.
