We would like to ask for your continued support of the Lake of Bays Association (LOBA); or if you're not currently a member, please become one. The 2020 membership year runs from November 1, 2019 to October 31, 2020. The Association and our 100+ volunteers, work to protect Lake of Bays by:

  • Testing, analyzing and reporting on lake water quality annually - read the reports.
  • Coordinating a discount propane program exclusively for members.
  • Monitoring proposed development on the lake and taking action where appropriate. LOBA is currently seeking party-status to an appeal of the Langmaid's Island proposed development--supported by your generous donations to the LOBA Action Fund.
  • Performing public outreach about invasive species at public boat launches.
  • Keeping supporters up-to-date through our Yearbook, Current Connection newsletter and these electronic NewsFlashes.

As a non-profit organization, we work to keep costs low. Save us printing and mailing costs by clicking or calling to renew or join.
