Fall 2022 Courtesy Boat Take Out Dates
Below are dates for supervised take outs from the private launch site in Fellows Cove. PPA members are eligible. If you have yet to pay your $30 PPA annual membership dues, you may pay at the takeout. The take out fee is $30. Checks can be made out to PPA or you can pay in cash (correct change). There are limited time slots. To schedule, please e-mail or call Bob Weimont (bweimont@yahoo.com, 293-4344) at least 2-3 weeks in advance if possible. Provide a two hour window. Once your launch time is established it is important to be on time. Not late OR early. We will do our best to accommodate everyone. Hope you have had a great summer!

Sign Up for a LakeSmart Visit!
Calling all shorefront owners: Parker Pond needs your help! As the threats to our pond become more challenging with invasive plants, warming water and stormwater runoff, you may ask “What can I do to help?” LakeSmart is an educational and reward program that helps lakefront owners manage their properties in ways that protect water quality and property values. Trained volunteers will evaluate your property and provide individualized suggestions for keeping stormwater runoff out of the lake. These improvements can go a long way towards diminishing algae growth and keeping the water clean and swimmable. We can do an evaluation in about an hour, outside, with safety precautions. The evaluation is free and non-regulatory. Improvements often can be done yourself, or if needed with the help of the Youth Conservation Corps of the 30 Mile River Watershed Association. Please help our lake and take advantage of this tried and true program for the sake of our lake by signing up for a free visit today!
