Our Story
Lime Lake is more than just a beautiful place—it’s a shared treasure. The Lime Lake Association is made up of passionate volunteers dedicated to protecting the lake and its surrounding watershed for generations to come. From water quality monitoring to habitat protection, we work together on meaningful projects that safeguard this unique ecosystem.
​
What began as a group of homeowners fostering community and raising awareness has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, officially established in 2015. Today, we continue to build on that legacy—through science, stewardship, and the strong support of those who love this lake.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors provides direction and oversight for the Lime Lake Association. Comprised of watershed riparians, the Board meets at least three times a year.
Each July, the association holds an annual meeting for the Lime Lake community and members interested in learning more and getting involved in lake stewardship. Volunteers are always welcome to serve on committees as the association grows. Opportunities will be posted on our blog as they become available.

Join the Lime Lake Association
Whether you live on Lime Lake or just love to visit, your membership helps keep the lake healthy and beautiful by funding essential research, education, and conservation.
​
Science is our top priority. We’ve invested in environmental research, including monitoring for Eurasian Milfoil—a major threat to inland lakes. Thanks to early detection and proactive efforts, Lime Lake remains Milfoil-free.
​
Your support also funds a lake biologist who monitors water quality, offers free greenbelt consultations, and educates members on protecting the lake. Every dollar helps keep Lime Lake the pristine gem we all cherish.
Thank you for your support!
Preserving the Lime Lake Ecosystem
The health of the overall lake ecosystem depends on the community that lives within the watershed and around the lakes that are part of it. Our choices matter. Your involvement and financial support matter.
Please do your part through volunteering, taking advantage of our free greenbelt consultations and discovery boat tours, and becoming a member so we all may continue to enjoy this very special place and preserve it for future generations.
