FINDLEY LAKE

WATERSHED FOUNDATION

Do you know the FLWF owns and maintains the dam, waterwheel building, gazebo and land surrounding it, the boat launch and the lakeside land that houses the marina gas pump and 3 docks? I bet you thought the state or town owned it. Nope, we do, and it takes a lot to maintain. 

Get to know us a little better here: MORE INFO HERE
