Lake Groton Association

Welcome to the Lake Groton Association web site. This site is designed to provide information for residents and visitors to Lake Groton (historically known as Groton Pond) in Groton, Vermont.

2019           

• From the Martins: live acoustic concert on our dock Aug 3 from 2-5 (camp #17).   Any and all are welcome to float up and raft up in front and listen to tunes.

• Loon status as of 7/19: We have one 2 week old chick on the north end and  PLEASE DO NOT BOAT OR FISH NEAR THEM.  Distracting the parents will draw their attention away from protecting the chick and in turn can put the chick at great risk from danger and predators. Thank you.  Darlene Sprague Vt Loon Conservation program Volunteer Lake Groton  darlenesprague@charter.net  . This Saturday is statewide loon count census day and Darlene will be on the lake counting loons in the morning about 8am-10am.
