Take to the Lake

Take to the Lake
Doan Brook Watershed Partnership has been hosting our annual event Take to the Lake which was started in 2013 as a memorial to Lester Stumpe, an avid paddler and early DBWP board member. Canoeing on the Shaker Lakes was a popular pastime in the first half of the 20th century, but public boating on the lakes is now less common. Take to the Lake gives participants a chance to resurrect this recreational opportunity for a day, and gain a new perspective on the Doan Brook and its place in our watershed community. We hope you will join us for an afternoon of paddling, a guided hike, yoga, and watershed education along the banks the Doan’s waters.
