We had two clean-ups at the Tak Trestle Trail this past month. We noticed the water in the lake was very low.

We went to look at the dam and this is what we saw.

The water is flowing unencumbered through the dam.

We received a call today to go down to Tak beach and see what is going on there.  A surfer called a friend so I called some friends and we went to look. This is what we saw:

These creosote soaked pieces of wood are all over the beach and in the water.

They might come from this big pile of wood which stinks of creosote.Some of it may come from the dismantling of the flume.

This is the Whale Pond Brook flowing into the ocean where the flume used to be.

If you see something that you think may not be right, don’t hesitate to call 877 warnDEP.
