Adopt-a-Highway Trash Pickup

  • The Grove, Chocorua Lake Conservancy (map)

Come spend a beautiful autumn morning with friends and neighbors tidying the stretch of Route 16 that runs along Chocorua Lake—a gorgeous time of year to visit the lake! CLC volunteers have been cleaning up Route 16 since 2003, when the CLC adopted the two miles of highway from Heavenly Hill to the north end of the lake.

On Sunday, October 10, from 8:45-10:30AM, join the Chocorua Lake Conservancy for our annual Autumn “Adopt-a-Highway” Trash Pickup along Route 16. We’ll meet in The Grove by Chocorua Lake, near the Narrows Bridge at the end of Chocorua Lake Road, at 8:45, and we usually finish by 10 or 10:30. Please come with gloves, good walking shoes, and wear bright, preferably day-glo clothing. CLC Lake Patrol Officer Troy Emerson will provide trash bags. If you have not yet been vaccinated, or are less than two weeks from your last shot, please bring a mask for moments when social distancing is not possible. Please email lflaccus@chocorualake.org with your name and phone number to tell us you will be coming so that we can let you know of any changes to the schedule. We hope you can join us—more helpers means we all finish faster!
