LOON LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Loon Lake Property Owners Association (LLPOA) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. The purpose of LLPOA is to help maintain, protect, and when possible enhance the quality of Loon and Cadotte Lakes (the Lake) and its surroundings, for the collective interests of its members, other users of the Lake, and the general public.
To accomplish this purpose, LLPOA endeavors to:
- Unite property owners and other interested parties in this common cause;
- Educate our members and other Lake users about activities that affect water quality, both positively and negatively, and encourage eliminating practices that degrade water quality
- Develop programs that study, test, analyze, and evaluate water quality changes and how these changes relate to the seasons, Lake and lakeshore use, and broader environmental impacts such as acid rain
- Stimulate social and volunteer endeavors among LLPOA members and their guests for the benefit and interest of the Lake.
A majority of the 76 homes on Loon Lake are LLPOA members. A continuing goal is to increase membership in order for all residents to support LLPOA efforts to be good stewards of our Lake. Members have the opportunity to learn about and get involved with many aspects of Lake activity.
These have included:
- A water quality study (2005) supported by a WI DNR grant
- Partnering with Burnett County on an Aquatic Plant Management Plan (2019)
- Giving a voice to members on a myriad of Lake management issues, road improvements, and area communication services
