Join us on Lake Wesserunsett for a morning paddle to Black Point! Somerset Woods, in partnership with Lake Wesserunsett Association, is working to forever conserve the woods and wetlands of this iconic property long enjoyed by generations of lake residents. Paddlers may be treated to sightings of loons, osprey, great blue herons, kingbirds and more in addition to the beauty of the wetlands and forested shore.

We will launch from the public beach on Beach Road at Lakewood. Parking at the beach is limited; paddlers will be asked to unload their boats at the beach and then park in designated areas. Parking details will be emailed to registered participants.

Annual LWA Potluck on Sunday, August 11th, 5-7pm at the Lakewood Golf Course Clubhouse. Check your email for all the details and rsvp. Hope you can join us!

RESCHEDULED TO AUGUST 2nd due to rain forecasted for July 11th. The fanwort incident in the fall of 2023 was serious and irresponsible. To assess whether the plant took hold, the Department ofEnvironmental Protection (DEP) and Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) will conduct an extensive Aquatic Invasive Species plant screening survey of Lake Wesserunsett on August 2, 2024.  Please see full details about volunteering in your email.

Please join your LWA friends for the 2024 Annual Member Meeting on Saturday, July 6 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM at the Lakewood Golf Course. RSVP via Evite by June 29.

The annual meeting will begin with light refreshments from The Bankery and time to mingle with lake neighbors, followed by the business meeting. After the business meeting, Game Warden Chad Robertson and Warden Investigator Jeremy Kemp will present on last fall’s fanwort incident (the potential introduction of an invasive aquatic plant into Lake Wesserunsett) and their enforcement actions. Full agenda to follow via email the week of July 1.

We now have a sound system, thanks to Vin Rinaldi, so that everyone will be able to hear.

This is a casual, no-RSVP required event (but DO call ahead and order pizza directly from Bigelow if you want any). We'll be gathering from 2-4pm on Sunday, the 23rd. of June. This is our fourth Bigelow social, and the first ones were big hits. It's a great event for newcomers to the LWA as well as it's very casual and a good chance to meet other lakegoers, so consider inviting friends who aren't currently LWA members or active participants!

We'll be gathering from 2-4pm on Sunday, the 20th of August. This is our third (or maybe fourth?) Bigelow social, and the first ones were big hits.

• (Rain date:  Sunday, August 6, 2023, at 9:00 AM)

• Where:  East Madison Boat Launch

• What:  Help LWA check key areas of the lake for invasive plants and animals

• What to bring:  Boat, ziploc bags, rake, a floating marker. Conversely, you can bring just yourself and we’ll find a spot for you in a boat and outfit you with gear. We will provide Quick Keys to help you rule out (hopefully) invasive plants.

No need to rsvp, but don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. - Elizabeth
