Watch Video: Annual Meeting & Dinner

On May 22, the Friends of Lake Quannapowitt invited all community members to join us at our Annual Meeting and Presentation at Bear Hill Golf Club in Stoneham. Guests enjoyed dinner and an educational presentation and discussion. More than 80 people joined us on a rainy, cold night – our sincere thanks to everyone who came out! Watch the video of this inspiring event here.

New! Fishing Line Recycling at Lake

Since early 2024, FOLQ has been working on a program to install fishing line recycling receptacles around Lake Quannapowitt. Receptacles will be installed this spring. Any fishing line, lures, bobbers, and hooks found around the lake can be placed in the receptacles. FOLQ will empty the bins regularly throughout the year.

Learn more about the program and how you can help here.

Volunteer with FOLQ

FOLQ volunteers

FOLQ is a 100% volunteer organization and is always looking for new people who would be interested in supporting clean up, conservation, and beautification efforts around the lake. Consider some of the ways you might lend a hand at Lake Quannapowitt! Most of our volunteer options are family-friendly.

Learn more here.

Bricks by the Lake

Initiated in 2006, Bricks by the Lake is a program that raises funds for improvements in lakeside parklands while also enabling personal memorials on engraved bricks located. This wonderful program allows the public to purchase an engraved brick to be installed around the flagpole at Col. Connelly Park.

Learn more about this program and how to order.
