Long Lake is more than a place — it’s a community.
Throughout the year, Long Lake neighbors gather for informal social events that help keep our lake community connected. LLAA shares information about these gatherings to help neighbors find ways to participate.
Please note: These gatherings are organized independently by community members and are not LLAA-sponsored events.
Recurring Community Gatherings

A monthly opportunity for women around Long Lake to connect and enjoy a meal together. Locations and details vary each month.
