The warm weather is here and with it, we can all get out and enjoy the lake. We hope that everyone has a great time enjoying the lake and that all boaters will join us in following Community Friendly Boating practices to protect the health and enjoyment of Sunset Lake for the entire lake community. You can learn more here and thank you for your support! https://slahampstead.org/lake-friendly-boating

So far, we only have 3 definite and 1 maybe, so we need at least 7 more definite participants if we are to get a permit for the motorized boat parade event. Please complete the survey by Sunday, June 7th so we have time to get the permit if there is enough interest.

To celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the USA, we would like to gauge interest in having a motorized boat parade on Sunset Lake on the afternoon of the 4th of July and also whether individuals participating in the 9 a.m. morning paddle on that day are interested in decorating themselves or their paddle vessels.

If you will be at Sunset Lake on the 4th of July, please complete this survey by May 31st so we can gauge interest and get appropriate permits.

In celebration of Earth Day, the Sunset Lake Association is coordinating with Hampstead Hearts & Sunset Park Campground again this year to clean our adopted roads on the Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 am.

The SLA is looking for volunteers to help with the cleanup of our adopted roads: Kent Farm Road, Wash Pond Road, and Ells Road near the town beach. It will take 1-2 hours and the SLA will provide grabbers, trash bags, and bright colored vests. Participants should wear sturdy shoes, long pants, long sleeves, and gloves. Bright colored clothes are recommended.

We are looking for a minimum of 8 volunteers, but we certainly welcome more. If you would like to volunteer, please direct message us or email [email protected] by Sunday, April 12th so we can plan final logistics for the day.

Thank you in advance to all volunteers!

We had a great, adventurous group on our monthly hike yesterday, tackling some intermittent slippery conditions in Schafer Woods in Atkinson. The recently fallen snow made it so peaceful and beautiful!

What a great idea, Donna! It seems we finally have a year with safe ice for a long period of time! I hope lots of people will choose to participate and perhaps even cover a bit further distance than just in front of their house in case their neighbors are not available!
