Lakes & Beaches

WELCOME SUMMER

Each summer the Town of Athol opens two public beaches; one each at Lake Ellis and Silver Lake.  Lifeguards are on duty from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily in June, July and August depending on funding and availability of qualified personnel. 

Swimming while lifeguards are not on duty is at the  individual's own risk.
