What is the Long Lake Association (LLA)?
Did you know all Long Lake residents, full-time or seasonal, are part of the Long Lake Association? You are!
The LLA was established in the early 1990’s by a small group of concerned Long Lakers and is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization.
Our Mission
The mission of the Long Lake Association (LLA) , in Long Lake, NY, is to preserve and enhance the health and beauty of the lake and to promote its wise use for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.
All Long Lake residents, full-time and seasonal, are part of the LLA. We encourage you to participate in events and to volunteer to help, whenever possible. If you would like to join the Board of the Long Lake Association, please let us know.
What's New:
In July 2022, the LLA sponsored an aquatic invasive plant survey of Long Lake and Jennings Pond. A presentation was provided on December 2, 2022 at the CVW Long Lake Public Library by Dr. Ezra Schwartzberg of ADK Research LLC. Here is a link to the report for your review and click on the picture for the presentation.
Based on this survey, the LLA Board has decided to sponsor limited surveys during the summers of 2023, 2024, and 2025 based on the 2022 survey locations with a full survey completed again in 2026. This should help us determine whether conditions are changing and whether remediation steps may be necessary.

We are already beginning to plan for 2023, so please check out the tentative schedule for 2023. If you would like to help out, please let us know. See you in the Spring.
Stay well and stay safe!
