As you can see, our lake is fenced in. There have been questions as to why the fence was put up in the first place. Photos were taken on Lake St. near Briarcliff Collage. Both the Patchogue Beautification Committee and the Concerned Citizens Committee have been for years, trying to flaunt, preserve, and protect our beautiful lakes, with limited success.

This is the beautiful view of the "Great Patchogue Lake,"that we could have, if only the area was cleaned up!

Patchogue Village has been a productive player in the effort to sustain our lake.

Our Village applied for and was granted special funds to help sustain our Beautiful lake. Patchogue Lake was stocked with special fish, that by virtue of their eating habits, will control the growth of undesirable vegetation.
I looked at the lake, and the fish appear to be doing their job!
Swan Lake Needs Help Too!
Which view do you prefer?
The first photo is what a passing westbound motorist should see, when entering Patchogue from the Montauk Highway. Unfortunately the second photo depicts the actual view as a motorist passes Swan Lake; the view is totally obstructed with overgrown foliage.

Debris is allowed to accumulate ultimately creating a "muck" that is commonly found in a swamp!
The Canadian Geese are also creating a situation that needs some attention. Canadian Geese have dominated both Swan Lake, and Patchogue Lake!
Reclaiming Swan Lake is a bit more problematic, because responsibility for this specific location involves both the Town, and the County Government. In addition, the Swan Lake Park Civic Association, is also an active player in the ongoing proceedings!
Hopefully we will reclaim Swan Lake, as well as Patchogue Lake this summer!
