“It was huge, we did really well this year,” said Katie Cole of Kampersville Store, which hosted the derby on Feb. 4-5.

Octogenarian swims Lake Dunmore David-Benedict-Dumore-swim-9-3-16screenshot.png

SALISBURY — I did it! It was a “Super Swim” that I did across Lake Dunmore on Sept. 3, 2016, at the age of 82.5 years!

I had been thinking about doing it for a number of years because that’s the lake where I learned to swim in the late 1930s. My family has been coming to our camp at the Pine Needle on Beaver Pond Road every year since then.

Lake Dunmore herbicide treatment.jpg

SALISBURY / LEICESTER — There will be no swimming at Branbury State Park, or anywhere on Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake, this Wednesday and Thursday because a herbicide will be pumped into the water to kill invasive aquatic plants.

The Lake Dunmore Fern Lake Association is treating the two bodies of water with herbicides called Renovate OTF and Renovate 3 (active ingredient triclopyr) to help get rid of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum, EWM). The application of the herbicide is slated for Wednesday.

SALISBURY— For local fishermen, Valentine’s Day this weekend brought frigid temps, ice and for a lucky few, some big fish.

The Lake Dunmore Ice Fishing Derby, held on the frozen surface of Lake Dunmore, attracted 52 ice fishermen from around the region. Temperatures for the weekend were 6 to 17 degrees below zero, accompanied by a strong northerly wind that sent the wind chill index plummeting.

The fish didn’t seem to mind, however.

Lake Dunmore group taps weevils in fight against milfoil

Posted on May 28, 2012 |
By John Flowers



SALISBURY/LEICESTER — The Lake Dunmore/Fern Lake Association (LDFLA) wants to enlist the help of some tiny insects to accomplish a feat that has thus far eluded hail divers and heavy marine equipment: the eradication of Eurasian milfoil.

The LDFLA has applied for permission from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to introduce thousands of Euhrychiopsis lecontei — aka milfoil weevils — as another weapon in removing the nuisance aquatic weeds that have been steadily encroaching on the lakes.
