- The Town of Alden, with assistance from Polk County, has requested bids to replace the concrete ramp into the lake at the North Landing. If a successful bid is received the work could start as soon as mid-October this year. If that does happen then the ramp will likely be closed for the remainder of the year. Lake residents should be aware that if this work does happen, boat removal will need to be done before ramp closure. The Lake District will be posting updated information about this on our website: cedarlakewi.com(opens in new tab). We also plan to send email notification to all lake residents that have signed up to receive District emails as soon as any pertinent information is made available.
