Save the Lake Frederick River Rats
Donation protected
We didn’t see it coming, Tropical Storm Lee or the threat of losing our beloved summer getaways.
After 2011’s Tropical Storm Lee, many across the mid-state, banded together to clean up, repair, and restore their community and way of life, after the flooding. On the Islands of Lake Frederick, it was no different.
While these trailers and cottages may not look like the lakefront properties you imagine, for many they represent decades of coming together and enjoying time with family and friends on the water. It’s a lifestyle of neighbors helping neighbors, sunshine, and campfires, some of us have known since birth. Many islanders have been enjoying this way of life for generations.
Now our way of life is being threatened and our time on the island could be forced to an end by matters related to Federal, local, and state entities are coming down on us.
We islanders or River Rats, as we refer to ourselves, are not ready to give up. Our hearts and money are already invested, we can’t imagine a summer without our beloved islands in it. The River Rats also support local business, donate to the local community, and help keep the Susquehanna clean and safe.
As of now, we have not been given a say in the matter or time to research our rights and develop proper representation. In response we have formed the Lake Frederick Home Owners Association. We need your help to fund our mission to save the Lake Frederick islands and the River Rat way of life!
For anyone not familiar, we are a group of property owners and lot licensees on Islands of the Susquehannah River, in Central, PA. These cabins are more than just a summer get away. They represent family, friendship, and community in all the best ways possible. We need and greatly appreciate your donations.
All money raised in this campaign goes directly into the account set up for the Lake Frederick Home Owners Association to help pay for legal representation in the cause, over the emergency issue, of saving the 300 summer weekend homes on Shelly and Beshore Islands.
