Tour de Lakes September 22nd

On Saturday, September 22nd, the Borough of Medford Lakes is sponsoring a "Tour de Lakes" in dedication and celebration of the recent completion of the Upper and Lower Aetna Dams damaged in the 2004 flood and the restoration of the lakes. The event will consist of a 10 K or 5K walk-run-bike. Participants are encouraged to walk a 10 kilometer tour of Medford Lakes that passes all of the major assets of the Borough (Lakes, Schools, Dams, Recreational and Municipal facilities.) This is not a race, merely a tour in the tradition of the German "Volksmarch". A commemorative pin will be awarded to the first 200 participants who complete the tour. The 10K tour takes 2 to 2.5 hours to walk. If that's too much, participants can bike or take an abbreviated 5K tour. Maps will be provided and the routes will be marked. The "Tour de Lakes" will start from Beach 1, Saturday, September 22 at 9:00 AM. The walk will be proceeded by a brief dedication ceremony of the new dams at 8:30AM.

At noon join us for the opening of Beach Drive over Upper Aetna Dam.

Rain date Sunday, September 23rd.
