At 99 acres, Lake Julia is the largest lake in DuPont State Recreational Forest. Who built it, when was it built, why was it built, and what has it been used for? What is the source and destination of the water that fills the lake?
For answers to these questions and more, Friends of DuPont members are invited to sign up for a tour of Lake Julia via canoe or kayak or paddleboard on Tuesday October 8th. Participants will tour Lake Julia by watercraft and learn about its history in this fall tour. This is a slow, quiet water trip so paddling will be easy.
Participants will need to bring their own watercraft (canoe, kayak or paddleboard) and personal flotation devices. The tour will last approximately two hours with part of the tour available for personal exploration. Please understand that we will convoy into the Forest at 12 pm and out by 3 pm.
This tour is led by Jennifer Nelson, FoDF board member and chair of the events committee. She has spent many years visiting Dupont State Forest and has interests in ecology, botany and the local history of the area.
As this is a very popular and limited event, please only RSVP if you know you are able to attend.
In the event of a cancellation, registrants will be notified the evening before the scheduled event.
