Hope you have been enjoying the wonderful fall weather we’ve been having lately.
This is just a reminder that on Tuesday, October 15th, the KLC will begin the annual drawdown. The purpose of the drawdown is to protect shoreline areas and docks from winter ice damage. In addition, the drawdown permits time for shore-line maintenance projects and, with enough cold weather, inhibits shore-line weed growth. Please plan accordingly.
Five (5) acres of Kinderhook Lake will be treated with ProcellaCor
for the control of Eurasian milfoil on
Monday, September 9, 2024, at around 4:00 PM.
Approximate areas to be treated are shaded on the map.
Please note that no swimming or boating is permitted in the treatment areas during treatment.
Do not use water from treated areas for irrigation or livestock watering for 24 hours after treatment.
Signage will be posted around the lake in accordance with our DEC permit.

The KLC’s annual Community Lake Day will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, from 12 to 2 pm on One Tree Island. Enjoy some time with your family and neighbors and by all means, make a few new friends. KLC Directors will be available to discuss any lake-related issues. KLC merchandise will be available.
Burgers, dogs, and soft drinks are on the house. Lake Day Raffle tickets are available in advance from any KLC Director for $5 each or $20 for five tickets. $250, $150, and $50 cash prizes. The prize drawing will take place at 2 pm. Money raised from the raffle will be used to support the many KLC programs that help improve the lake and dam.
This event brings out dozens of large and small boats and usually well over 100 party-goers. Please be considerate of the no-wake zones around One-Tree, and even though boat stewards will be available to help, be careful when docking or anchoring your boats.
Mark your calendars and be sure to join us for Community Lake Day on August 3rd. Just in case, the rain date is August 4th. Check back here or on our Facebook page for any last-minute changes. See you there.

July 4th, Independence Day, is just around the corner. It is one of the best days to be on Kinderhook Lake. And, of course, the KLC will be hosting the usual array of fun events, all to take place on Thursday, July 4th.
Kayak Rally
This event is open to all non-motorized vessels – kayaks, rowboats, canoes, paddleboards, rafts, etc. Between 8:00 and 11:00 AM collect tickets from the orange-flagged locations spread around the lake. Write your name and phone number on each ticket. Don’t forget a pen and a plastic bag to keep your tickets dry.
Bring your tickets to the tan and green metal building at 9 OLD West Shore Dr in Valatie by 11:30 AM to be entered into the prize drawing for KLC merchandise.
We could always use a few more lakeshore owners to fly orange flags and hand out raffle tickets in the morning. If you would like to help out, please call Pete at 914-217-6770, and he will provide flags and raffle tickets.
Boat Parade
Start planning to decorate your boats and meet at One Tree Island at 1:30. Follow the lead boat as you parade around the lake, hootin’ and hollerin’ all the way. Prizes will be awarded to the Most Patriotic, Most Unique, and Funniest boats. Please note that although the boat parade is open to the entire community, only current KLC members are eligible for prizes.
Ring of Fire
Light your flares and torches along the shoreline at 9:00 PM for a lovely bright ring of fire around the lake. The more flares, the better.
Flares and KLC merchandise will be available from 9:00 am to noon on Thursday, July 4th, at the tan and green metal building at 9 OLD West Shore Dr in Valatie. If you need them sooner, please call Pete at 914-217-6770.
