Do you want to learn more about navigating Squam Lake? Are you camping on our public islands and want to get more comfortable navigating a canoe with camping supplies? Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on an out and back paddle to Moon and Bowman islands on Saturday, July 26th from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. During our paddle we’ll go over how to navigate open water, identify the Squam islands, learn how safely canoe, and explore the islands trails and beaches.
Join us for a hike up West Rattlesnake to help clear water bars and maintain the corridor along Old Bridle Path, the most heavily traveled trail in the SLA network.
This gathering is an opportunity for members and the community to come together, hear updates on our conservation efforts, and celebrate the work being done to protect Squam Lake.
Join us for a boat ride to help collect water column samples at Loon Reef and Moultonborough Bay as part of our summer water-quality monitoring program. We will learn about how the SLA monitors Squam by completing a set of measurements together and then enjoy a lunch on Moon or Bowman Island.
Join the Squam Lakes Association for a morning of hiking and learning about the Japanese poetry form known as haiku.

Join us for a ~2 mile hike up Wentworth Trail to the summit of Mt Israel (~4 miles out and back) to help us maintain the path.
