Our Mission
Our primary goal is to preserve and protect our community including the natural environment and the overall quality of life on our lakes. We place a significant amount of emphasis on environmental issues through these distinct approaches: Programs for education, social interaction, lake stewardship, and communication.
Water Testing Program
The quality of our lake water is monitored on a regular basis by the MLPOA. We wouldn’t be able to enjoy our properties without clean and safe lake water. For this one program alone, the annual fees are a great value!
