Keeping Lake Paran Accessible for Recreation

Lake Paran - North Bennington, VT is one of our favorite local destinations for swimming, boating, and enjoying time outdoors. To help maintain access to the lake, ongoing aquatic w**d harvesting removes excess aquatic vegetation that can interfere with recreational activities.

Support from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)'s Aquatic Nuisance Control (ANC) Grant-in-Aid program helps Lake Paran support the use of its w**d-harvesting boat and continue this important management work. This funding helps sustain the effort to keep Lake Paran enjoyable and accessible for Bennington-area residents and visitors.

Thank you to the Vermont DEC for supporting local aquatic nuisance management and recreation at Lake Paran! And thank you to Billy, the Weedoo boat operator, for letting us share this great photo of the boat in action!

More info about the ANC Grant-in-Aid program can be found here: https://dec.vermont.gov/watershed/lakes-ponds/aquatic-invasives/grants-and-funding-opportunities
