Our Mission
2017 PADDLING OLYMPICS
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.
Message from the President:
Today, May 11, 2018, is a beautiful spring day in Long Lake. It is still cool at night and the peepers have started to fill the quiet nights with their constant peeping. But this is all part of the beauty of living in Long Lake!
We just had the LLA Spring Board Meeting to review the plans for 2018. We have put some tentative dates into the 2018 Calendar of Events. Check it out and start marking your calendars! Click here for the 2018 Calendar of Events.
I just received the final copy of the 2017 report from the Adirondack Watershed Institute (Paul Smith's College).
This is the 11th year that we will have Lake Stewards at the DEC boat launch at Long Lake to continue educating visitors about invasive species and inspecting boats when launched and when removed from the lake. Here is the link to the 2017 report from the Adirondack Watershed Institute (Paul Smith's College). http://www.adkwatershed.org/sites/default/files/awisp_program_summary_2017.pdf Long Lake information is on pages 125-127. The variable leaf milfoil harvesting project started last summer and made possible through the collaboration of Paul Smith's College, NYS DEC, the APA, the Nature Conservancy, LLA, and the Town of Long Lake will be completed this summer and an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plan will be created to ensure the long-term management of AIS. This summer we will also be co-sponsoring a Boat Wash Station with NYS DEC, Paul Smith's,and the Town of Long Lake. The Boat Wash will be located at the new municipal parking lot near the ball field.
Please remember that these programs could not continue without the support of Paul Smith's College, grants from NYS DEC and EPA, the Town of Long Lake, and the many active volunteers that routinely help out. Although we are assured of NYS DEC funding for 5 days/week coverage by Lake Stewards through 2023, we may need to conduct some fundraising in the future to supplement this funding to support 7 days/week coverage at the boat launch and an AIS Management Plan.
Thank you to all the Board Members and officers and to all who have been involved over the years and into the future. And thank you to the Town of Long Lake for supporting these important programs. Please remember that 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.
See you this summer. It is time to start enjoying the outdoors and the lake again with your family and friends!
Barbara Taylor, President
