What does the Big Long Lake Membership get you?
What does the BLL Association do on your behalf?
The Big Long Lake Association provides residents who live in and around the lake with many services that help to make Big Long Lake one of the nicest lake areas in which to live and play.
One of the biggest services we offer is filing paperwork for grants and working with the DNR to get large areas of the lake sprayed for weeds. With the LARE grant and additional funding by BLLA, an average of 100 acres of the lake are sprayed annually for milfoil, a persistent and spreading weed. This is a very expensive project and while the Association cannot fully fund spraying the entire lake, it has helped fund and get funding for this huge effort. Individuals can help the process by paying to spray in front of their own houses.
Your membership pays for a “membership in the LaGrange County Lake Council” that keeps lake associations abreast of lake issues and solutions.
The Association works with the DNR on projects such as dam maintenance, fish studies, public access use, dredging and weed control.
Each year volunteers through the Association, capture and remove Canadian geese from the lake and take them to another location which not only gets rid of the geese, but the waste they leave behind.
The Association funds both the awesome fireworks and other lake activities that have made the Fourth of July week a highlight for not only residents of Big Long Lake, but their many guests as well.
Every other year members receive a new Lake Directory which is funded by the Association, as well as, local business support.
These are the some of the major projects which are funded and managed by the Big Long Lake Association. There are other projects that are funded or manned by volunteers to keep the Association working. Lake residents are asked to join the Association for $40 a year to help fund these services.
