Looking to protect the beauty of Big and Little Pequaywan Lakes? Join the Pequaywan Lakes Association! We’re a group of neighbors working together to keep our lakes clean, healthy, and enjoyable.

From educational events to water testing, we’re committed to preserving the natural beauty of our community. Interested in getting involved? We meet periodically.  Usually at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays at the Fire Hall. Check our schedule (see sidebar), come on down, and see what we’re all about!

– The Association discourages the use of Wakeboats, also known as wake surf boats or watersports boats, popular for their ability to produce large wakes suitable for surfing and wakeboarding. However, their operation can have several negative impacts on lake habitats primarily through shoreline erosion, disruption of aquatic vegetation, sediment resuspension, and disturbance to wildlife, all of which can degrade the ecological health of freshwater ecosystems.
