The Friends of Lake Warner: Our Mission & Vision

Welcome to the Friends of Lake Warner & the Mill River. We are a non-profit corporation registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are dedicated to the preservation, improvement and responsible use of the Mill River and Lake Warner in Hadley, Massachusetts. We are a passionate community of outdoor enthusiasts who are passionate about nature, sustainability, wildlife, history, and preserving our lakes and land.

We are dedicated to the preservation, improvement, and responsible use of the Lake Warner and the Mill River in Hadley, Massachusetts. Our main goal in preserving the lake and surrounding lands was to create a natural oasis for people of all ages to enjoy. We strive for Lake Warner to be a place where everyone can enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature, whether by sight seeing, bird watching, or leaf peeping. We also want to encourage outdoor recreation on the lake, with canoeing, ice skating, fishing, and shoe shoeing being the most popular activities. Our long term goal is with fostering more educational opportunities and community engagement, so we can be a benefit to the larger community. We believe that spending time outdoors surrounded in nature has wellness benefits that everyone should have access too -which is one reason we are highly motivated to make Lake Warner and the Mill River accessible and available to all.
