Relax, invigorate, rest and energize in the Damariscotta Lake Watershed! Opportunities await you in and around our lake! A four-season area, this watershed abounds in activities all year long. In summer, lake users include swimmers, fishermen and a wide variety of boating enthusiasts. Viewing of summer wildlife is also very diverse; as eagles, Canadian geese, loons, ducks, osprey, beavers (and even an occasional moose) populate our shores and waters. In the fall, brightly colored trees reflected in the lake provide an aesthetic wonder for those boating, fishing, hiking or birding. Spring brings the exciting adventure of the annual alewives' run at Damariscotta Mills; and to complete the year's activities, the lake area is available for ice-skating, ice boating, ice fishing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter season. However in the midst of all this activity and enjoyment, as the bright sun showers iridescent sparkles on the deep blue water of summer or on the crisp white snow of winter, we are reminded of the precious gift of this lake and watershed. Thus, we must pledge to use this endangered resource with care and respect. In addition to self-directed recreation, our new Outreach Committee is planning some exciting initiatives for 2010. Programs in the works include a winter party, youth sailing program to be run jointly with the YMCA and youth fishing program. The goal of the committee is to make DLWA a recognized asset to watershed residents and encourage membership by providing meaningful recreation. Contact us for more information, or check out the Events Calendar. We invite you to check out any of these exciting recreation options:
