Anchor your boats in the middle bay just below One Tree Island and look east.
This event is likely to be well attended, so please be careful when anchoring your boat and be considerate of other boaters around you.
Many thanks to Michael Knabbe for sponsoring this event.
Enjoy the festivities.
The KLC’s Annual Community Lake Day will take place on Saturday, August 2nd, 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 also be available.
Burgers, dogs, and soft drinks are on the house. Lake Day Raffle tickets are almost sold out (only 500 for sale) – $2,500 first prize. Check with your area director to see if there are any tickets available. 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 2nd. Just in case, the rain date is August 3rd. Check back here for any last-minute changes. See you there.

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.
Boat Parade: 
Decorate your boats and meet at One Tree Island at 1:30pm. Prizes will be awarded to 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 along the shoreline at 9:00pm and enjoy the evening. Flares will be available July 4th at 9 Old West Shore Dr in Valatie between 9:00am – noon.
Merchandise:
KLC logo merchandise, as well as flares for the Ring of Fire, will be available on July 4th at 9 Old West Shore Dr in Valatie between 9:00am and noon, or call Pete at (914) 217-6770.
Water Chestnut hand-pull is on for tomorrow morning – Saturday, 6/28 @ 10:00am.
Invasive water chestnuts are once again emerging in many shallow areas of the lake. While our harvester can remove water chestnuts in water greater than 3-feet deep, hand-harvesting is the only way to remove water chestnuts in shallow water. Therefore, two (2) water chestnut hand-harvesting events are scheduled for this summer:
- Saturday, June 28, 10:00am to noon.
- Saturday, July 12, 10:00am to noon
Please meet at the north end of the lake with any vessel that can navigate shallow water (kayak, canoe, raft, paddle board, john boat, etc.). Please bring your work gloves and perhaps a small rake if you have one. We will be collecting water chestnuts by hand and transferring them to the Eco-Harvester for disposal. Some light refreshments will be available.If the weather forecast calls for heavy rain or thunderstorms, each event will take place on the Sunday following the scheduled event, June 29 or July 13. Please check back here or our Facebook page on the Friday before each event for any weather postponements.
