Preserving the Lakes of La Porte, Indiana

Preserving the Lakes of La Porte, Indiana

The La Porte Lake Association is a non-profit organization comprised of both businesses and residents from La Porte, Indiana, and the surrounding neighborhoods who are concerned about the quality and health of our local lakes.

Who We Are

The initiation of The La Porte Lake Improvement Association began in 1965 by area businesses and residents, both on the lake and in surrounding neighborhoods, who were concerned about the quality and health of our lakes. To ensure continued enjoyment of these lakes, the La Porte Area Lake Association monitors issues and problems that could affect everything and everyone that uses these lakes from recreational activity to native wildlife. We work hard at keeping our lakes clean, we work with Biologists, weed control professionals, and the DNR to determine action plans for the forever yearly changing weeds, and protection of the vegetation, fish, and wildlife on our lakes along with the DNRs recommendations of what of those need to be controlled.
