Mystic Lake Cleanup

Mystic Lake Cleanup

9:00am - 12:00pm

Join NSPNers in cleaning up the shoreline of Upper Mystic Lake in

Medford, where we hold popular practice sessions in the summer.

Meet at 9:00 AM at the MDC boat ramp, on the east side of the lake, off Mystic Valley Parkway, between between Upper and Lower Mystic Lake. We'll finish up by lunch. Coffee and dounuts served.

Bring work gloves and some eye protection for working in the brush.

Like many recreational urban waterways, Mystic Lakes get a lot of trash, which degrades the experience of those who use them, including us. So here's a chance to give back to the community for the facilities we enjoy, improve our and everybody's experience of Mystic Lake, and help the NSPN image in the process. Last year we blew away the MDC with the amount of trash we collected, and we aim to beat that this year!

Driving instructions:

From 93 take exit 32, go west on Route 60, stay on Route 60 through Medford and West Medford, until the first small rotary, go right from the rotary up Mystic Valley parkway.

From Route 2, take exit 59, turn northeast onto Route 60, stay on Route 60 through Arlington, through two small rotaries at the foot of the Lake, and then left from the second rotary up Mystic Valley Parkway.

In either case, go 0.7 miles up the lake and look for the Medford Boat Club sign on the left.

Bring your boat and lunch, and afterwards we'll take a paddle on the Lakes and down the river.
