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.
2020 in Review
In 2020 we partnered with the Lake Champlain Lake George Regional Planning Board to provide a Long Lake Homeowners Guide to a Healthy Lake. This was provided through funding from the NYSDEC through the Environmental Protection Fund. Information includes:

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 2020 seasonal activities of the Long Lake Association (LLA) were curtailed, including the Annual Get-Together where we provide an update, or Annual Report.
Acknowledgements:
The LLA would like to thank all of you for your continued support of our efforts to meet our mission and the many volunteers and partners, including the LLA Board Members, Town of Long Lake, Paul Smith’s Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI), NYSDEC, Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP), the Nature Conservancy, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District (HCSW), the Lake Champlain Lake George Regional Planning Board, NYSDOH, and so many others.
We also want to thank all the residents and visitors to Long Lake that took the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 Pandemic seriously. The Long Lake businesses and the Town of Long Lake worked very diligently to ensure that Long Lake remained opened and that we could engage in outdoor activities in a safe manner.
Message from the President - May 23, 2021
It has been over a year since we entered this Pandemic. Fortunately, Hamilton County is in pretty good shape. Most of our residents are vaccinated, and our Town, businesses ,and schools have been following the NYSDOH and Federal guidelines to ensure the health and safety of their workers, patrons, and students.
Now for Summer 2021, we have a new challenge, to enjoy our summer and continue to stay safe and respectful of the specific COVID-19 restrictions put in place. If we all do our part, Hamilton County and Long Lake will be able to resume activities safely.
Since the CDC and NYSDOH guidelines continue to be updated, the LLA Board decided at its Spring Board meeting that we would not sponsor the Paddling Olympics for this season. We may still plan an Annual Get-Together in August, depending on how the summer goes. Of course we will still have the Lake Stewards at the NYS DEC boat launch and the Boat Wash Station. We are also planning on reissuing the Long Lake Homeowners' Guide with a few updates. We also hope to finalize a Long Lake Management Plan which will help us set priorities for years to come. Once that is finalized, we hope to invite you to an informal get-together to go over the Plan.
I will continue to post relevant updates from the County BOS, Hamilton County Public Health, the Town of Long Lake, the CDC, and the NYSDOH on the Long Lake Association Facebook page.
For the most up to date information on COVID-19 for New York State, please refer to these websites: For Town of Long Lake and Raquette Lake updates, please check out the website which Alex is updating regularly.
Our local health department is the Hamilton County Public Health Department, which can be reached at 518-648-6497, or check out their Facebook page for the latest updates.
Thank you again for following the current restrictions related to COVID-19. I look forward to seeing everyone soon. Meanwhile, the Long Lake Association will continue to move forward with the usual lake management activities and keep you posted about them.
Stay well and safe.
