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!

Discovering
New England
Stone Walls
with Kevin Gardner
August 28th, 7:00 p.m.
Pillsbury Barn
Muster Field Farm
Harvey Road, North Sutton, NH
Kevin gives a dynamic presentation, explaining how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways in which they and other dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed over time, and their significance to the famous New England landscape. Along the way, Kevin occupies himself building a miniature wall on a tabletop, using tiny stones from a five-gallon bucket. He'll bring along his collection of books about stonework, and copies of his book The Granite Kiss will be available for sale, as well as his most recent book, Stone Building – How To Make New England Style Walls and Other Structures The Old Way.
Join KLPA and Muster Field Farm for a marvelous event. Bring your stone project questions and problems for Kevin to solve! Free and open to the public.
