A Little On the History of the Club

Originally called Wekabaug Pond, from the Nipmic Indian word meaning wet place or swamp, in 1890, Lake Wickaboag existed as Wickaboag Pond, somewhat smaller than the present lake. In the 1930s, the natural dam was replaced with a new construction, which raised the level of the lake and flooded more of the Wickaboag Valley swamp. The lake drains into the Quaboag River, which passes by to the south.
