Squam Lakes News

The 2016 Squam Ridge Race Wrap Up! : The 2016 Squam Ridge Race was a huge success! Despite an early morning thunderstorm many racers took to the ridge line and gave it their all. The fire pit kept folks warm, our amazing volunteers on the grills kept the food coming, and the aid stations and trail monitors supported racers throughout the day!
Intern Journal: Olivia: "I am leaving this internship with a newfound appreciation for all of the work that goes into preserving an area such as Squam."
Intern Journal: Kyle: "To myself and the eight interns that I’m proud to call my friends, this lake has nurtured our bodies and souls the way that only the most special places may."
Intern Journal: Jordan: "I just really enjoy working with the summer camp because the kids are always great and it is nice to get the opportunity to work with other members of the SLA staff."
Weed Watcher Morning this Saturday on Little Squam: Join SLA milfoil experts at the Cottage Place on Little Squam this Saturday, August 20th from 9-11. We'll teach you aquatic ecology basics and plant identification, and the Cottage Place will provide coffee, snacks, and a spot to peek into the Lake.
Squam Ridge Race, September 11, 2016: Come join the fun. You can choose to run competitively or complete one of two routes as a hike. Register by Wednesday August 17th to be garanteed a technical race t-shirt.
