Long Lake Cleanup

Long Lake - Mile-Long Coastal Dune Lake Cleanup

In the past, this lake was used by families and couples gliding about in paddle boats, canoes, and little electric boats. Today, while they still use the lake, it is clogged with exotic, non-indigenous plant growth about half-way up so that boaters are not able to enjoy the full length and beauty of the lake. What’s more, Camp Live Oak and our public middle school L.I.F.E. program that include in their curriculums marine projects and boating skills, are not able to use the lake as they once did.
An ADA lift on the dock would allow anyone with physical challenges to enjoy boating as well.
