In 2003—more than 20 years ago!—Chocorua Lake Conservancy adopted the two-mile stretch of Route 16 that starts at Heavenly Hill, where you’ll find the beautiful Chocorua Lake Basin View Lot, and runs north the length of the lake. CLC volunteers have been keeping that stretch of road clean two or three times a year ever since.

On Sunday, October 13, from 8:45-10:30AM, join 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 please wear bright, preferably day-glo clothing. Bring a bathing suit, too, if you’re feeling brave enough to go for a brisk dip in the lake afterward—or a kayak! CLC Lake Patrol Officer Troy Emerson will provide safety vests and trash bags.

Please register in advance above so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule. We hope you can join us—more helpers means we all finish faster!
