Donate to the LLAA Foundation
The mission of the LLAA Foundation is vital to protecting our lake. Your donations have contributed to the professional inspections and treatments to fight the spread of Starry Stonewort at the South access, supported testing for zebra mussels, provided hundreds of additional hours to supplement the Hubbard County watercraft inspections at our very busy North and South accesses, and funded the stocking of the lake additional walleyes and perch.
We cannot do this without your generous support! Thank you!
