Reflections On The Lake

"In the 1930’s my uncle Hans purchased all of the land from near Dolloff Dam all the way around to where Meindl Way is now. The original camp they built is off of what is now Meindl Way. It was a little 12x12 shack. They lived in that camp for a whole year. It was the Depression and no one had jobs. They actually survived in that shack for a whole year living off of the land. They picked berries and they would shoot a deer, even out of season, because they needed the food to live on." Gladys Whitney |

A beaver pond in the woods off of Barderry Lane has emptied into Pawtuckaway Lake. This pond, thought to be a source of nutrient loading in the lake by co-president of the lake association Tom Duffy, broke through its beaver dam due to high rainfall last year and emptied into a tributary that feeds Pawtuckaway Lake. The Pawtuckaway Lake Action Committee has been studying sources of nutrient loading including beaver ponds like this one. There are two ponds between Rte 156 and Barderry Lane. The smaller pond is the beaver dam that collapsed. The following photos are of the larger pond which is still intact:
