Green to Clean project status after two years:

The results of the Green to Clean project are quite favorable.  After applying lanthanum, an organic clay used to trap phosphorus in the sediment, in 2024 and 2025, the scientists studying Rainbow Lake say the water quality is being restored. The releasable phosphorus in the sediment has decreased by half.  It is this releasable phosphorus that causes the unwanted algae growth.

We are hoping to raise the necessary amount for the third treatment—$40,000—by the end of 2025. To that end, a very generous RLA member has pledged to donate $10,000 to the Green to Clean Fund if we can raise the other $30,000 by New Year’s Day of 2027. This is an incredible opportunity for all of us to chip in and make a big difference for the future of Rainbow Lake. Many of you have given generously to the fund along with your 2026 membership dues—we thank you for that. We hope everyone else will help out also by contributing to the Green to Clean Fund -- just click the link directly below. If every potential RLA member gives $150, we can easily reach our goal. 
If you, too, would like to pledge matching funds of any amount, please contact the RLA at [email protected].
So far we've raised $6450 toward our $30,000 goal.

Dear Neighbors,

 

We now have public boats! In order to reduce the number of boats on the beaches, the RLA will now have four RLA member boats on Crescent Beach. They have “RLA” stenciled on the side and we have both kayaks and canoes. We will put some life preservers in the beach shed and a few paddles, but we encourage members to bring their own paddles and life preservers. This is the first year we have tried it, and, if successful, we will add some more boats. Please be courteous and return the boats, paddles and life vests to Crescent Beach after use.
