LAON is an all-volunteer group dedicated to preserving the health and beauty of Norway’s four lakes: Sand Pond, Hobbs Pond, North Pond and Lake Pennesseewassee. We protect the lakes from harmful invasive plants and pollutants, monitor and report on each lake’s condition, encourage responsible recreation, and conduct a broad based awareness campaign to reach our entire watershed community.
Our members enjoy swimming, boating, fishing and other water sports during the summer and ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and skating on the lakes all winter.
What’s New / Events
Read the Lake Pennesseewassee Watershed Protection Plan, which provides a strategy and plan for mitigation and water quality protection for the Lake Pennesseewassee (Norway Lake) watershed over the next ten years.
This plan builds on the Lake Pennesseewassee Watershed Survey that which was conducted in the summer of 2019 in an effort to preserve the lake for the enjoyment of future generations.

Also, please review the summary of the highly successful North Pond Watershed Protection project, which was conducted during the fall of 2017 through end of 2019.
Our 2019 newsletter highlights the challenges confronting us and the responsive programs we’ve developed. Our strength is based on our multifaceted approach, our success is based on lakeshore property owner involvement.
