Our Goal
To preserve the natural beauty of our lake and the
surrounding area. We are a member-supported organization. Please consider joining.
Our Focus
This years focus is on reducing the spread of
the exotic weed called
variable milfoil that has infested our lake. See below for more
information of what variable milfoil is and how you can help in containing
and stopping the spread of this infestation!
We
Need Your Help!
Due to governmental budgetary constraints much of our program costs will
fall on CLAPA. It is our responsibility as property owners and CLAPA
members to maintain our lakes beauty and our investments. Please
consider volunteering for one of our many programs that will ensure the
beauty of our lake for many years to come. A few of our volunteer
programs include milfoil diving, dive tending, weed watching and reporting
and more. Ask how you can help!
