Members and neighbors share...
Whatever the season, there is always something to see and do on Lake Kitchawan. Photos by lake residents document our most popular activities like seasonal fishing, boating and swimming, socializing around the lake with planned and impromptu neighbor get-togethers from music-added-picnics to ice fishing and skating in winter. Year-round, residents can observe the wildlife that frequents our lake and can enjoy beautiful natural views over the water.

Boating
Contributing to the peace of the lake, gasoline-powered vessels are prohibited on Lake Kitchawan. Small sailboats, manual and electric-powered rowboats, canoes and kayaks also are often spotted.

In summer, Lake Kitchawan Association beach is dotted with member families who enjoy the float a short swim away.
Kids and grandkids splash in the shallows in many spots on the lake, preferably under the watchful eye of nearby adults.
socializing...
Seasonal lakeside activities include formal and informal get-togethers including the annual Lake Kitchawan Association clambake for members of LKA.
NATURE ON THE LAKE...
Abundant bird life on the lake makes birdwatchers of us all. Hawks and the occasional eagle circle above while herons, swans, Mallard ducks and Canada geese are seen on and above the water. Turtles make the journey from lake to land to hide their eggs each spring while noisy peepers and croaking frogs contribute to a symphony of sound.
