2024 UPDATE
Now that the another successful race (our 6th) is behind us your SLBC is staying busy with coming up with new ways for further improvements to and ways to enjoy the lake. You can still purchase your personal paver. Go to "STORE" on this web site to apply.
The three docks are in place and getting used. On a recent morning three young women and their three small children were enjoying the dock at the upper lake. We are close to completing the contract to install two kayak vendor rental installations near two of the docks. In keeping with the desire to be green, these will be totally solar powered. A local mechanic will be hired to keep them humming and a promotional video will be available on line to learn about using the rental stations. These may be the first for New Jersey. This past Spring SLBC joined with STEM to plant a pollinator garden near the Sculptors alongside the upper lake. All plants are native and designed to bloom throughout the growing season. Pollinator are critical for our planet and these are intended to attract bees and butterflies including the endangered monarch. While we continue to trim the plants that border the lake they ar growing back quickly and again blocking views. While this does appear be keeping geese off some sections along the lake it is not doing what we intended and we will be looking at alternatives.
2023 Race
The SLBC once again held the 5th Annual Moorestown Paddle Board/Kayak & Family Festival on Saturday, June 10, 2023. The annual fundraiser raised $25,825 thanks to all the sponsors, race participants, vendors and donors. As in past years, people from all over the area came to enjoy a day of racing, vendors, food, music and vendor shopping. There were 90 racers who registered and competed in the 1-mile and 4-mile race, approximately 50 vendors, and 45 businesses and families donated to the silent auction baskets which raised over $2,000. Funds from this event were used for a lake-edge clean-up and the installation of a third floating dock near the Children’s Pond. The SLBC also hopes to add two kayak launches at two of the floating docs and also do another beautification project somewhere along the lake.
