As a reminder, cyanobacteria is in every fresh water body in the world.  Blooms however happen depending on a multiple of conditions such as temperature, phosphorus levels, rain fall, etc. etc. etc..  The blooms can come quick and then disappear quickly or they can stay around for a while.  As stated above .. just avoid them.

On Saturday, July 1, a single loon chic was hatched to the adult pair that nested on Province Lake during June.  The chic has been growing under the watchful eyes and constant companionship of the adults.

On Thursday evening, July 20, the State certified biologist team from the Loon Preservation Center in Moultonborough will be on our lake to band the adult(s).  You may see a boat with a bright light on it between 8:30 and 10pm.  The LPC has been banding loons for decades and the team has extensive experience in the process.  They assure us that the procedure is safe and will involve as little stress as possible.  Please do not attempt to join the activity.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sadly, someone stole a 9 hp boat motor and fuel tank from a boat parked at the beach along Rte 153 near Butler Field.  They were locked to the boat and the locks were cut.  A police report was filed.  We thought you should be aware and you should watch your boats etc. and keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
