Upcoming Community Meeting - Should Duane Lake Take Ownership of the Dam?


You are cordially invited to a Community Meeting at the Duanesburg Fire House on Wednesday, May 6th at 6:30 pm. The firehouse is located at 7073 Duanesburg Rd.


The main purpose of this meeting is to open a discussion on whether or not the Duane Lake Association, on behalf of the Duane Lake community, should take ownership of the dam. The current owner is offering the dam to the DLA at no cost. But - there are a few aspects to consider before that transaction might occur and a community discussion is warranted and encouraged.

Please find a brief draft of a pros and cons write-up that discusses many of the possible considerations. Please take a few minutes to read this write-up and plan to attend the meeting bringing your thoughts and questions along for discussion. Link:



And just to make this meeting a bit of fun, please plan to bring a small plate of dessert that we all can share. Beverages will be provided.

Please plan to attend this community meeting as it affects everyone of us who shares in the beauty of Duane Lake.

For those who cannot attend in-person, the meeting will be live streamed via Zoom.  The meeting link can be found here once published.
