Welcome to the Long Lake Area Association (Hubbard Cty, MN)
Our mission is to advocate for the quality of life on Long Lake by educating our community about environmental stewardship strategies that can protect the lake’s future and our enjoyment of it.
LLAA Task Force releases updated Lake Management Plan
Long Lake is the heart of our community. Whether it’s the thrill of a walleye strike or a quiet sunset on the dock, we all share a deep connection to these 1,926 acres. But beauty like this doesn’t happen by accident—it requires vision, vigilance, and a shared plan.
The Long Lake Area Association (LLAA) is proud to share our Lake Management Report, a comprehensive review of our actions and investments over the past decades that have contributed to Long Lake’s current and future health.
Why This Matters for You
Our latest data brings encouraging news: nutrient levels are decreasing, and our water quality remains high. However, stewardship is an ongoing journey, such as the 2025 discovery of another aquatic invasive species (AIS), curly ponweed that will need to be treated. The report dives deep into the issues that affect every property owner, including:
- Environmental Health: Ongoing watercraft inspections at the north and south accesses, AIS monitoring and treatment, mercury concerns, and our “ready-to-act” protocols.
- Wildlife & Fisheries: Protecting nesting habitats for loons and eagles, alongside consistent walleye stocking partnership with the MN DNR.
- Responsible Recreation: Managing wake impact, shore-land erosion, and our “Keep It Clean” winter initiative.A Legacy of Environmental Stewardship
Through the LLAA Foundation, we have worked diligently to raise the resources to fund these critical efforts—but a plan is only as strong as it is enabled by the generosity of the LLAA membership community behind it. From working to safeguard the 18 miles of shoreline to protecting our water quality, your involvement is the key to success.
We invite you to dive into the full LLAA Lake Management Report. Inside, you’ll find the vital lake statistics and actionable steps being taken by the LLAA’s members.

Environmental Stewardship
Environmental Stewardship is a term that encompasses many issues and possible actions that influence the water quality and future enjoyment of Long Lake. The LLAA, in its 50 years of existence, has focused purposefully on understanding approaches and engaging in actions that can help maintain Long Lake’s health while enhancing recreational use by property owners and visitors. Over the years, aquatic invasive species (AIS) have become a growing concern nationally, state-wide, and here in Hubbard County. Since its inception, the LLAA Foundation, at the direction of the LLAA, has funded many educational programs as well as preventative and treatment activities to fight AIS. Many members of the LLAA have also contributed time to support these efforts in collaboration with other organizations and governmental entities.
The LLAA Board of Directors received confirmation about the importance of Environmental Stewardship from the results of a survey conducted in summer 2024. When property owners were asked about their top five concerns regarding the lake quality (health) of Long Lake, over 90% noted AIS as their primary concern.

You can contribute to the LLAA’s efforts to protect Long Lake’s quality and health into the future.
Take Action
Join the LLAA
Long Lake is a community of hundreds of summer and permanent residents, who not only enjoy “lake life” but also share a commitment to preserve the lake environment for the future. Membership in our Long Lake Area Association (LLAA) is paramount to the organization’s conservation efforts, especially educating lake residents about Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) and ways to minimize their effect on Long Lake.
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!
