President's Corner

Welcome to beautiful

Kezar Lake!

For many this is home, while for others, a home away from home or an exciting new experience. Whatever your circumstance, this lake is a jewel of a resource.

Kezar enjoys enviable water quality for active and passive use. Whether swimming, boating, fishing, hiking or bicycling – or spotting our annual loon families and majestic bald eagles – Kezar Lake has much to offer.

Things weren’t always this wonderful. Beginning more than fifty years ago, our lake suffered periodic algae blooms. With the aid of state agencies, legal counsel, local residents and others, it has experienced a rebirth. But Kezar Lake requires care and diligence to ensure that its sensitive environmental history is not repeated. Like other lakes, Kezar’s water quality is readily threatened by modern pollutants, such as road salt and sand, fertilizers and waste water.

KLPA was founded by lake residents and others with a mission to protect and enhance Kezar Lake by testing water quality, educating the public, enhancing recreational use, encouraging volunteerism, maintaining public access to this wonderful asset, and hiring lake hosts to monitor invasive species.

You can enjoy and help protect our lake by becoming a member of KLPA, making a donation or volunteering. If you are not already a member, please join us! Each new member makes a big difference.

Thank you for visiting our webpage, and I look forward to seeing you around exciting Kezar!

Victor Del Vecchio, KLPA President

Loons Back for Summer

Several loons have been seen on Kezar beginning April 2 of this year. It won't be long before our loon nesting signs go back up to let people know to stay clear of their nest; all fisher people need to keep their tackle under wraps and disposed of properly; and, of course, NO LEAD SINKERS, which devastate loons when ingested. Please forward any pictures you may have of this year's family. to if you would like to share and see them published on this site....Thanks! (See link below "The Call of the Loon," recordings from the Loon Preservation Committee in Moultonborough.)
