Indian Lake Watershed Association Update 8/22/2021
Temporary Ban on Personal Watercraft at Indian Lake Takes Effect
On Wednesday, August 18th, an ordinance enacting a temporary ban on personal watercraft at Indian Lake went into effect. This has been approved by the appropriate authority at the state level. The ban applies to residents and visitors and will be in effect through September 2022, unless a comprehensive management plan can be enacted sooner in the interest of public safety. The penalty for each violation is $300.

The City of Worcester has already begun educating residents and visitors. Enforcement will be provided by the City of Worcester.
No Wake Request through August 27th
Due to the high water level from two major storms within a matter of days, we ask that lake users refrain from speeds that create a wake in the days ahead in order to minimize challenges at waterfront properties. Water continues to exit at a rapid rate. However, the lake typically continues to receive water from the surrounding watershed for a day or two after the rain stops. Therefore, minimizing wakes for a few extra days to allow the water to recede will likely be helpful to affected neighbors.
Send Us Your Fish Tales - extended through Labor Day!
The Indian Lake Watershed Association is hosting "Fish Tales: Stories of Fishing in the Heart of the Commonwealth" to showcase local anglers, their catches, and their experiences citywide. Now through September 6th, anglers will have the opportunity to upload their fishing photos and stories that relate to Worcester lakes and ponds. At a later date, photos will be displayed at a public exhibit to showcase the opportunities at Worcester's Blue Spaces!

While it is already exciting to have the stories and photos on public display, many fun categories will give participants the opportunity to win some great prizes too!
