This is an early reminder that on Wednesday, October 15th, the KLC will begin the annual lake drawdown in accordance with our DEC permit. The purpose of the drawdown is to protect shoreline areas and docks from winter ice damage. We recommend that any shoreline maintenance projects be planned for this fall, as the water level can rise quickly in the spring depending on rain, ice, and snowmelt. Please plan accordingly.

July 4th is just around the corner. We hope you are preparing for a perfect holiday weekend.
Kayak Rally:
Start anywhere on the lake at 8:30am using any non-motorized watercraft and race to collect tickets from various flagged locations around the lake. Bring your tickets to 9 Old West Shore Dr in Valatie at 12:00 noon to be entered into a drawing for KLC merchandise. Don’t forget a pen to write your name and phone on the tickets and a baggie to keep them dry.
We are still looking for shoreline volunteers to fly a flag and distribute tickets to rally participants. If you are willing to help, please call Pete at (914) 217-6770.
