About 10 days ago when we had some real gusty winds,  we found two towing tubes out loose on Neal's Cove. We are guessing that they are expensive. We put a rope on them and tied them to our dock and tried to spread the word amongst those that live on Lakeview Dr. So far no luck. So could you spread the word to your neighbors?

All we ask is that they do leave our rope.

On June 3rd, sixty fifth graders from Nottingham School took part in a day-long field trip focused on lake ecology at the Pawtuckaway State Park beach. The trip was hosted by the PLIA and conducted with the enthusiastic support of the DES.

Enviroscape -- This station introduced students to the concept of a watershed through the use of an interactive model. By exploring the idea that water always runs downhill to a water body, students discovered various sources of water pollution and came to understand that they and their families can play a role in keeping our water clean. The Pawtuckaway watershed was discussed during this presentation. This station was led by Barbara MacMillan of the DES and Steve Soreff, our very own Weed Watcher Captain.

Pawtuckaway Island Names System Print E-mail

Yes, I know all the maps label the big one as Log Cabin Island (although, none of us have found evidence of a log cabin there) which is guarded in the channel approach by the Twin Islands. The Twins by their appearance give creditability to their names.
