Annual Boat Cruise Sat July 4 2009 Success
Dedicated to Tyler Trahan
Annual Meeting Home Values Topic
August 3, 09 7 pm at Eagles
Long Pond welcomes all safe boaters. A public boat launch is located on the South end of the lake off Route 18. Please be mindful of the requests of the courtesy boat inspectors and help them identify any occurences of vegetation, specfically milfoil. Milfoil, once admitted to our lake, grows so quickly that it takes over the lake, affecting both fishing and swimming.

Excessive rains have created havoc for many residents of Long Pond as well as surrounding communities. We attempt to display sources that explain the situations as they arise. Check the "In the News" to learn more.

NOTICE: FLOOD INFORMATION “ALERT”
To residences of Long Pond, Assawompset Pond, and all members of the
“Long Pond Association”
Please be aware there is a group of concerned citizens that live on the ponds in Lakeville and Freetown and have suffered damage from the recent flooding. While a lot has been said of the record rainfall and the vegetation in the Nemasket River, we know that much of the damages suffered around these Ponds were the results of man made decisions. If these Ponds were managed as they were for over the past twenty five years to their appropriate levels through the dams in Lakeville and Middleboro, the damages that occurred with these spring rains would not have happened. The Ponds would have been able to absorb this water.
We are actively pursuing policies through Town/City offices and State Representatives to make sure this never happens again.

Tribute to Tyler
Tyler Trahan of East Freetown was killed in Iraq in June 2009. To honor our fallen hero, Long Pond Association is dedicating the Annual July 4th Boat Parade to him.
Some ideas for the parade include tossing a simple flower as the boats pass his lakefront home.
The parade starts at the Eagles where specific instructions will be given to the boaters. We hope you will join us and if not perhaps you hang a poster for Tyler at your dock.
