Whitehall Lake Cleanup Saturday

Hopkinton 'may' be released from rain, but bring spray, because the bugs may be released too.

The Friends of Whitehall Lake will have a Cleanup and Trail Maintenance Day, tomorrow, Saturday, May 21, starting at 9 a.m.

The main trail around the lake is six miles long and open to hikers, horses, and non-motorized bikes.

Whitehall was created about 150 years ago by holding back poritons of the Sudbury River to be used as a backup water supply for Boston. Since the 1970s, reservoirs from the Sudbury River have been deemed usable only in direst emergency.
