Lake Quinsigamond, Flint Pond Water Levels To Be Lowered

SHREWSBURY, MA — The process of lowering water levels for Lake Quinsigamond and Flint Pond will begin on Monday.

The Lake Quinsigamond Commission said it will begin its annual drawdown, which helps control invasive aquatic vegetation by exposing it to winter freezing. It also helps reduce heavy weed growth along the shore, the town said.

Here's what residents need to know:

• All boats must be removed from the water at least two days before to prevent damage.
• Docks and shoreline strcutrues should be secured or adjusted for ice movement.
• Homeowners may remove trash or debris by hand only, no machinery.

The town said that the lake will be refilled by April of 2026.
