Staff photo by Abbe HamiltonFrancestown’s public beach at Scoby Pond (also known as Haunted Lake) is open to Francestown residents this season, but will not be staffed with lifeguards this year, the Recreation Department announced on Tuesday. The town’s Summer Swim Program is canceled. The beach has been posted “swim at your own risk,” and the police department will be monitoring the property. The Recreation Department encourages residents to carry out trash, and to be respectful of the property and others while visiting the beach. Staff photo by Abbe Hamilton
