The initiation of The LaPorte Lake Improvement Association began
in 1965 by area businesses and residents, both on the lake and
surrounding neighborhoods, who were concerned about the quality
and health of our lakes.
To ensure continued enjoyment of these lakes, the LaPorte Area
Lake Association monitors issues and problems that could affect
everything and everyone that uses these lakes from recreational
activity to native wildlife. Two examples of our involvements in
Lake issues are as follows:
Pine Lake Flooding
The Association worked closely with the Mayor’s office from 1993
to 1998 to help resolve the flooding of Pine, Stone and Lily lakes.
Members raised over $100,000 towards the effort and attended
countless of meetings, locally as well as down state, to ensure the
work on the permanent pump continued in a timely manner. The
“Permanent Solution” project was completed in the fall of 1998.

Weed Control
Our current mission is weed control. Exotic, invasive weeds have
taken over our lakes causing problems for fishing, boating and
swimming. Seaweed continually washes ashore, clogs engines of
personal watercraft, becomes tangled in boat props and almost
hinders swimming in certain areas of the lakes. We have been
working with local weed control agencies and park representatives
on a long-term program to reduce and control these weeds and
return the lakes to a more natural state.
