Statement from the Vermont DEC Lakes and Ponds Program after the July 2023 Floods
In the Lakes and Ponds Program, we are geting reports of very high-water levels in many lakes and ponds across the state and related property damage, including Peacham Pond, Joe’s Pond, Lake Dunmore, Shadow Lake (Glover), Lake Elmore, Woodbury Lake, Valley Lake, Sabin Pond, and various reservoirs.

It is always useful to hear from people about what is going on after the storm at individual lakes, so don’t hesitate to reach out and share information and photos.
