Squam Lakes News

Squam Ridge Race October 1st 2017: Join us for the 5th annual Squam Ridge Race. 12 miles, 3 summits, 3000 feet of elevation gain with 82% of the course on trails, or 4 miles and 1 summit.
Intern Journal: Dominique: "I was confronted with many 'lasts' as I finished up my final work day with pulling the invasive terrestrial bittersweet and checking in campers with Becca, but I was comforted with remembering some of my 'firsts.'"
Intern Journal: Eric: "Next is type two fun; activities that in the moment can be quite miserable, but looking back upon the completed adventure you can see the fun in it all. Over the internship we had our fair share of type one fun moments, but I feel that it was the type two moments that will be sticking with me as I head back to college this fall."
Intern Journal: Steve: "I intend on making the most of these last days by working diligently, exploring the area, and sharing experiences with other interns."
Adventure Ecology: Turtle Talk on White Oak Pond: Join Squam Lakes Intern, Becca Cohler, for a morning kayak tour on White Oak Pond to discuss all things turtle!
Intern Journal: Tamara: "The Lakes region and the SLA possess such a love and passion for its land, which I will carry back to my land in my heart."
Intern Journal: Riley: "Regardless, people wave and smile when they see our odd looking boat, a tribute to the sense of community created by the lake, the likes of which I really have never experienced in a region so large."
