Lake Living Resources

When you live close to a lake there are lots of things you can do to improve the health of the lake. This page lists some websites that have suggestions for reducing your impact on the watershed. 


Lake George Association

The Lake George Association in upstate New York makes available a Homeowner's Guide to Lake-Friendly living. The guide contains information about runoff, lawn care, erosion control, fertilizer usage, septic systems, landscaping and more.  The link below will take you to the guide.
