Residents, business, and property owners in the Town of Kinderhook are invited to provide input regarding the Town’s Comprehensive Plan Update at www.tinyurl.com/TOKPlan. There are two important questions regarding the need for public sewers around Kinderhook Lake.
We will begin raising the lake to summer level on April 1, 2025 in accordance with our DEC permit. A note to lakeshore property owners – please finish up any shoreline projects and clean your waterfront before the water starts to rise. The rate of rise is weather dependent.
A safe day on the water is a fun day on the water! To ensure our waterways remain safe and enjoyable, New York State requires all operators of motorized boats to take a safe boating course and earn their Safe Boating Certificate by 2025.
New York Safe Boating Courses teach basic boating skills and encourage common sense and courtesy to all who share the water. Boaters can earn their certificate by taking a classroom course with certified New York State instructors or through approved online courses. You must be at least 10 years old to take a safe boating course.
Classroom courses are offered around the state by certified and experienced instructors and are a great opportunity for boaters of all ages, especially first-time and youth boaters, to earn their certificates. Please note that some instructors may charge an instructional fee. Fees paid to your instructor do not include the fee for a permanent certificate for students aged 18 and older.
With an approved online course, learning is completed online, and successful completion of unit exams is required in order to advance through the course. Fees paid to the online provider include the cost of your permanent certificate issued by the provider.

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.
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.
