Cobbossee Lake Watershed

 Friday, September 25, 2020. 

The Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed was founded in 2001 by a group of local residents who were concerned about declining water quality in their lakes.   Fun for the whole “family bubble”! Up to 6 guests who live in the same household can board the Tadpole Patrol for an unforgettable excursion. “Kids” of all ages can observe wildlife above and below the water, share lake trivia, and experience water monitoring with professional equipment. $50.00
