The Lake Gardner Improvement Association is a group of Amesbury residents advocating for Lake Gardner, its beach, and the surrounding Powow Conservation Area. We also organize community activities on the lake, the beach and the trails of Powow Hill.
How did this change come about, and how can YOU be involved in what we do?

Lake Gardner, created by the construction of a mill dam in 1872, is part of the beautiful Powow River. The expanse of typically still water provides a wonderful opportunity for relaxing paddling.
June typically brings comfortable water temps in the 60s, and by July it is typically around 70-80 degrees. In the winter, the lake will freeze, but please treat the ice with caution. Local first responders never consider it to be entirely safe.
A quiet paddle in the cove.....
Where the birch canoe had glided
Down the swift Powow
Dark and gloomy bridges strided
Those clear waters now;
And where once the beaver swam
Jarred the wheel and frowned the dam.
-excerpt from "The Fountain" by John Greenleaf Whittier
