Reflections On The Lake

"Our biggest challenge is to keep the lake as healthy as possible for the generations that come after us. I think that the PLIA is definitely on the right track. I especially liked their video that showed how to landscape our waterfronts to promote a more healthy lake and a better habitat for the animals."

Draft of the Lamprey River Management Plan Print E-mail
Written by Liz Kotowski   
The 2013 draft plan is an update from the LRAC's 2007 Lamprey River Management Plan that takes into account the expansion of the protected river corridors in 2011.  It mentions Pawtuckaway Lake once (and the Pawtuckaway River a lot).  Instream flow is mentioned just once. The plan seems to be a well-developed document that mostly focuses on corridor protection and water quality.

Volunteer Opportunities on the Lake

If you love living on Pawtuckaway Lake and would like to become involved, the Pawtuckaway Lake Improvement Association would really appreciate your involvement. There's a small, very dedicated group on the lake that could use your helping hands.

Do you like to canoe or kayak? Do you love our lake? You could save Pawtuckaway Lake the next time you are just paddling around. The Weed Watcher Program is fun, easy, doesn't take that much time, and you can do it while you are participating in your favorite hobby! If you already paddle around the lake regularly, this small, extra effort could just save our lake from being overtaken by an exotic plant infestation.
To become a Weed Watcher and to learn more about Aquatic plants in the lake contact Peggy Tucker or Steve Soreff, 895-6120 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Do you enjoy meeting new people? Lake Hosts are needed to cover shifts at the boat launch. Lake Hosts inspect boats and trailers, for exotic plants that could infest our beautiful lake. Training is provided. To become a Lake Host email Donna Danis at  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

DES Warns of Expanding Infestations of Exotic Aquatic Plants Print E-mail

Dear Lake Host Point People,

Please take a few minutes to read the DES press release below and please
forward it to the hosts working at your lake and other interested parties in
your lake/pond community.

These two unfortunate examples stress how very important it is for lake and
pond groups to be actively involved in both Lake Host prevention activities
and Weed Water early detection activities.

Keep up the great work!
