Why Attend?

Long Lake has seen significant improvements in water quality and is under consideration for de-listing from the impaired waters list for excess nutrients. However, new challenges, like chloride levels from urban runoff, require collective action to preserve these gains. Learn more about the lake's history, ongoing projects, and future initiatives, including flood risk assessments and infrastructure upgrades.
