2025 Membership by Lake

The SRLCA appreciates the support of its members!   Revenue from memberships is a major factor in our ability to fund the many initiatives that aim to continue to improve water quality on the Chain.  And a high membership level affirms our collective commitment to partner with our neighbors toward our many shared goals.

The chart below shows the number (inset in the blue bar) and percentage of addresses by lake (the number on top of the bar) that purchased a 2025 SRCLA membership.  As you can see, membership percentages tend to run between 20 - 30%, with a couple of notable exceptions (we’re talking about you, Park Lake and river residents!).

Income from memberships, grants and charitable gambling helps fund aquatic invasive species (AIS) management, as well as projects like the I-LIDS stations at the public landings and the sign & mirror we installed in the channel between Long and Horseshoe Lakes.  For 2026, we’re working with the Sheriff’s Department to improve communication in the event of temporary no-wake designations, including the fabrication of signs to be deployed on bridges to improve awareness by boaters.

The SRCLA board and our members want to grow membership numbers by each lake so we can work as a larger group towards the shared goal of keeping the Chain that we all love, healthy for many years to come.

A stretch goal is to get every lake’s participation percentage up to the level of Park Lake!

So, if you aren’t currently a member or have let your membership lapse for a while, please consider a 2026 membership and join the party!
