Indian Lake Watershed Association Update 10/8/2021
Indian Lake Drawdown to be Discontinued

The City of Worcester will be eliminating the Indian Lake winter drawdown. This fall, the water will be reduced 3 feet vertical (as opposed to the 6 ft drawdown we have used the past 5 years).

The drawdown was established in the early 1990's as a tool to manage the nonnative, invasive plant, Eurasion milfoil, which had few management options at the time. Other options have since become available and ultimately the drawdown is not in the best interest of the lake long term.

Please see the communication from the city at the link below. There will also be an informational session on October 19th to answer any questions:
Indian Lake Beach Improvements Moving Forward!

We are excited to share that long awaited funding to improve Indian Lake Beach, at the end of Clason Road, has been secured!!

This beautiful spot has been in disrepair for many years. Neighbors came together to develop a master plan which was approved by the Worcester City Council in 2014. The plan includes improved lighting, security cameras, a new bath house, and handicap access to the beach.

Special thanks to Candy Mero-Carlson, District 2 City Councilor for her consistent advocacy for this important community asset.

For more information on the master plans for Indian Lake Beach, Shore Park and Morgan Park, please follow this link:
Neighborhood Vision

The ILWA Board of Directors recently put together a collection of suggested improvements to benefit our neighborhood and waterways based on the projects we have been involved with over many years, which are ultimately driven by feedback from our members. Most are centered around improving Indian Lake, Little Indian, the public spaces and access around them.

Please consider reviewing the list and helping advocate for these valuable neighborhood improvements:
