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."

2010 Lake Host Update Print E-mail
Written by Donna Danis   
The Lake Host Program is more than half-way through the summer schedule.
 
State-wide, Lake Hosts are up to 188 “saves” including 2 here on Pawtuckaway Lake – one Eurasian milfoil and one variable milfoil. Here are some interesting stats on this very important program:
 
  • Collectively, our paid and volunteer hosts have provided more 450 hours of ramp coverage and conducted more 1,145 inspections.
  • 93% of the boats inspected are from New Hampshire
  • 47% of the boats inspected are canoe or kayaks
  • 42% of the boats inspected are outboard motor boats
  • 56% of the boats have a high awareness of the program
 
The attached documents give you information on how to spot variable milfoil and Eurasian milfoil and how to inspect boats or personal watercrafts that may be using your private boat launches.
