Latest Updates from the Panther Pond Association

Spring 2025 PPA Communication 
Greetings from Panther Pond on a beautiful day in late April. The lake refilled over the winter from a very low level in the fall and as of 4/24/25 is at a level of 181ft, which is 6” above the target level of 180.5 ft. Water will continue to spill over the dam until the target level is achieved. Beaver dams were removed this fall from the Rte 85 culvert as well as some blockage at the narrow entrance to the pool above Mill Street. The Rte 85 culvert has some remnants of the beaver dam still impeding travel under the culvert so please check before you attempt to take a boat through the culvert. The Panther Pond Association is leading a Watershed Survey of the entire watershed. The dates of the actual survey are June 6-7, 2025, and we encourage all property owners to allow their properties to participate in the survey. More information will becoming on this important effort. Thank you for your continued support of the Panther Pond Association.
