Lake Telemark Community Club

So far this summer we have eradicated the overgrowth of Eurasian Water Milfoil. This was done by using an aquatic herbicide called ProcellaCOR-EC. This herbicide is proven to be extremely safe, effective, and only targets Milfoil. We only want to use herbicide if we absolutely have to, and the Milfoil was a perfect example of an appropriate targeted use of aquatic herbicide.

All of us on the Environmental Committee are so excited to share with you our education outreach program called, “The Lake Partners Project.” What is this Lake Partners Project you ask? Well simply, it is an effort to help educate the community and spread awareness about keeping our lake and surrounding land healthy through environmentally safe practices.

I am putting together a super fun and engaging COVID-safe fundraising event for the Lake Telemark Community Club. I hope you're as excited as I am. We would love you to join our Road Rally! A Road Rally is not a race, it’s more like a scavenger hunt in your car. Saturday, September 26 Starts at 1pm $50 per car (20% DISCOUNT for LTCC members)

The LTCC Environmental Club is having a fishing fundraiser to raise money to maintain our lake and bring it back to a state of natural health and beauty. I hope you can join us! Family-friendly and all ages welcome! August 7-9. $20 entry fee.

Wow I cannot believe it's nearly July!!! We are bringing an old tradition back and will be celebrating in a DIY way this year. It's a simple and safe way to celebrate America's birthday. Please join us for a July 4th bike parade! Meet at the Clubhouse on July 4th @ 10am.

I am just reaching out to give you all a super quick lake update. We had our 3rd lake assessment this week from Solitude Lake Management. The dissolved oxygen and clarity are looking much better from last time, which is great! During this visit the tech also did some small spot treatments with Copper Sulfate in the shallow areas to help control algae growth. You can see the results of this week's survey here:

Lake Telemark Community Club has a longstanding tradition of playing horseshoes. That's why there are horseshoe pits at the Clubhouse. We don't just play - we compete! HUB Lakes is a group of twelve lake communities that compete in more than a dozen sports. This has been a tradition for 65+ years!

It has been a long dry spell without party rentals at the Clubhouse. I am happy to say that we are again open for business. Right now, you can rent the Clubhouse at half capacity with a maximum of 40 people (hopefully this will change soon). You can rent the dining hall and/or the patio picnic area.

Since the whole world became that town from Footloose on March 14th, I have looked forward to this announcement. This weekend the bar at the Clubhouse will reopen! In order to open, we had to get special permits and these permits, while liberating because they allow us to finally serve drinks outside, place some new restrictions on our operations; we have a few new rules by which we must abide by.

It is so great to see our lake looking good and so many of you out on the water! Last Tuesday 6/2, we had our 2nd visit from Solitude Lake Management and I just wanted to give you all a quick update on the progress made.

My kids love fishing. They could do it for hours. Whether they catch anything or not is another story! It's about the journey not the destination I guess. The other day we were at the Clubhouse fishing. A couple other families were fishing, too. It was nice to have some company :) Jen made her way across the lake on her paddle board. When she arrived, she let us know that there was no fishing in the swimming area. "Why?" I asked.

Marie Reedell

Yes, the beach and grounds will be open this summer! And, yes, the lake will be swimmable! We will let you know when we get test results and town approval for swimming. To make sure everyone will be safe while having fun, the Board approved some updated lake rules. It also ordered some fancy new signs that are coming soon.

The first herbicide treatment for the lake will be applied tomorrow 5/21/2020. The aquatic specialist from Solitude Lake Management will be here sometime in the afternoon. You may see him out on the lake in an airboat. I have requested that the herbicide be applied via injection under the water to reduce any risk of it spreading outside of the lake from cross winds…

I am very excited to let you all know that the Lake Telemark Community Club officially signed a contract for a year-round lake management plan with Solitude Lake Management. A biologist, specializing in lake management, will be coming to our lake twice a month to conduct assessments and provide treatments as needed…

These are trying times right now, and I hope that you and your family are doing well. I am reaching out on behalf of the Board with some administrative updates. The Board wants you to know that, even though our social activities are paused, the Board is still functioning and doing its best to keep the Club going…
