The Hop­kin­ton Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion is meet­ing via Zoom on Tues­day March 29th at 7:00pm to dis­cuss the Notice of Intent sub­mit­ted by the Hop­kin­ton DPW to address the exces­sive weed growth in the lake. The LMPA Exec­u­tive Board has dis­cussed this top­ic exten­sive­ly. We vot­ed in 2020 that the use of her­bi­cides as a spot treat­ment, when need­ed to con­trol exces­sive weed growth, is impor­tant as a “tool in the tool­box”. We encour­age all the LMPA mem­bers to become involved in the process.  Here is an arti­cle from the Hop­kin­ton Inde­pen­dent which pro­vides a good back­ground on the sub­ject. Zoom link will be sent when it becomes avail­able.  The LMPA Exec­u­tive Board

April 29th from 7–10pm at the Hop­kin­ton Coun­try Club. Tick­ets are avail­able for pur­chase on the mem­ber­ship tab and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion can be found on our Face­book page. Tick­ets are $25 each until April 22, and then they will be for sale at the door on the night of the event for $35.

We can’t wait to see every­one and celebrate!

Spring means “Lake Cleanup Time”! Grab your friends and fam­i­ly and join us on Sun­day, March 20th for Lake Clean up. We will have trash bags, donuts, cof­fee and post-cleanup piz­za for all volunteers!

We will have a table set up at 9am in the beach park­ing lot with a map of the lake. We will assign fam­i­lies areas to clean up so we can hope­ful­ly hit as many places around the lake as possible.

We are hop­ing to take advan­tage of the low water lev­el to get areas around the shore­line!!

Please email us with any questions!

We can’t wait to see you! Click the pho­to to go to the Face­book Event page.

Down­load Minutes

Time to clean out and take inven­to­ry of your lake gear and SWAP some items with neigh­bors. Trade/exchange and/or give away some stuff. If you don’t have any­thing to give away or don’t need any­thing that is ok, sim­ply join us for a fun afternoon!

Pick a spot in the beach park­ing lot and set up your things. Min­gle about, get to know your lake com­mu­ni­ty and maybe score a few items for yourself.

What­ev­er doesn’t go, please take back with you. Please bear in mind that this is not a yard sale and no mon­ey will be exchanged.

Ideas for items to swap:

Mask/goggles

Water skis

Skates

Life jack­ets

Oars

Fish­ing equipment

Water shoes

Hock­ey sticks/pucks

After anoth­er beau­ti­ful sum­mer, fall is upon us and it’s time for the annu­al draw down of the lake to begin. The tim­ing of the draw down is man­dat­ed by a per­mit received from the Hop­kin­ton Con­ser­va­tion Com­mis­sion and must begin no ear­li­er than Sep­tem­ber 15^th and no lat­er than Octo­ber 1^st. While the exact date can vary from year to year based upon the lev­el of the lake at the end of sum­mer, it could start any time between now and Octo­ber 1^st.  For your infor­ma­tion, the Hop­kin­ton DPW is in charge of the draw down process.  This year’s draw down is expect­ed to be 4′ and 5′ (48–52 inch­es).  Please be aware of the lake lev­el draw down process and arrange for the removal of boats and docks accordingly.
