Hoping to make it but not 100% it will work yet. Anybody got an address for the ramp? What's the typical depth of the sandbar (knee, waist deep, etc) you were hanging out at last year? I will report back once I know for sure but if it works it will be me, wife, 2 yo daughter and Python Super Sport.

The sandbar is typically less than knee high. The ramp is at the end of Scout Rd off of Exit 14 in Southbury.

So the 20th is coming up fast!
We are planning on being on the sandbar around 9:30ish. We'll block off some spots for the CC boats. We are bringing; a pop up canopy, a table, a small gas grill if people want to cook their burgers or dogs, and a cooler. The sandbar is shallow so if you want to bring an ez-up for shade or tables they sit in the water just fine. For those in the area and looking for something to do, my band is playing Friday night at a place around 20 mins from the lake. Argh, I keep getting a no follow error when I try to post the link. If you copy and paste this link it will take you to the event. http://www.facebook.com/events/1742355582714657/ So on Saturday I'll be a little slow to start and half deaf - lol |

Hi guys,
Unfortunately we will miss this event this year. Last year was a good time- the Zoar is a great spot- love the sandbar. Sorry to miss it. Look forward to catching up with everyone again soon. Have a great time out there. -Brad |

Hello....Sean here,
It seems like you guys have a rather solid Sand Bar plan in effect! I am a bit late to the party , but would offer assistance or support if needed. I live on Great Quarter Road in Sandy Hook. ( on Zoar) it is about 5 miles south of the sandbar and about 1 mile up river from the Stevenson's dam. Between myself and my next door neighbor, we have 2 open dock spaces. More space might be available if a mooring is set up. I have some room in the back yard for tenting if anyone is interested! The town of Newtown has a public launch at the junction of Rts. 34 and 111. It is $15.00 from 7 AM - 9 PM. Access is at the end of my street. Right there on Rt. 34 is a Sunoco with a full store, Across the street is a strip mall with Subway, D&D, Pizza and....YEAH....a Package Store!!! I would be open to some early morning Footing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I have a 92 BFN...and a boom!! *****As early as possible because you have to beat the tubers!!!***** That's It.....let me know what I can do to help....thanks...Sean 203-606-0169.....(SOB59@earthlink.net) |

Phil,
When Joel holds those events, he only blocks off a small portion of the lake way up by Lillinonah Dam. Unless you boated up there, you wouldn't even know that it's going on. |

This from there registration
LOF's 2016 Dambusters event will take place on August 20th! Dambusters is LOF's annual ski marathon event and raises money for LOF's programs. Skiers who participate in the ski marathon have the opportunity to set a fundraising goal, and the 3 week fundraising period leads to a waterski marathon from the Shepaug Dam to the Stevenson Dam and back. Skiers have the option to participate in the 22 mile ski run (roundtrip from dam to dam) or in the 11 mile ski run (from the Shepaug Dam to the Stevenson Dam). There will be a rest stop set up at Zoar Beach at the halfway point with snacks and refreshments for skiers. Pre-registration is required. Skiers who participate in the marathon should arrive at the LOF site (90 Housatonic Drive in Sandy Hook) by 8:30 AM for check in. Skiers will take off at 9 AM sharp. LOF has limited equipment available for skier use. We ask that skiers who have their own equipment bring it to the event. Snacks and drinks will also be available upon return at the LOF site. All participants will receive commemorative t-shirts. Both adaptive and able-bodied skiers welcome. Jump skis, wakeboards, slalom skis, and sit skis are all permitted. The deadline for registration is August 17th. We look forward to skiing with you! |

Ha, that's different than the events that I know of. The more the merrier. We can wave at them on the way by. I also heard that some people are going to be doing a lobster boil on the sand bar on Saturday as well. It should be a good party all around!
