THIS IS LIME LAKE
Pristine waters spanning 670 acres, stunning shorelines, steep forested hillsides, sparkling creeks, and over 100 acres of preserved natural areas. This is Lime Lake, a true gem of Leelanau County.
As a Lake Association, our mission is to preserve the environmental purity and beauty of Lime Lake. Whether you live on the lake or simply love visiting, you are welcome to join us in this mission.
Through education, research, community engagement, and partnerships with conservationists, we are committed to safeguarding Lime Lake for generations to come.

Watershed Protection is Crucial
Many of us who live on or near Lime Lake prefer to keep her out of the limelight. None-the-less, Leelanau County in general is experiencing an ever greater number of visitors and this inevitably leads to increased pollutants and other environmental stressors that threaten the health of the Good Harbor Watershed and its lakes. Learn what a watershed is and what you can do to protect it.


Scientific Evidence Based Strategies
The Lime Lake Association uses science-backed methods to protect water quality in the Lime Lake/Good Harbor Watershed. Led by our biologist and supported by the Leelanau Conservancy and riparian volunteers, we conduct regular water sampling and eDNA testing. These efforts have led to significant improvements in lake-wide best management practices.
Free Greenbelt Consultation
To encourage establishing greenbelts on Lime Lake, the LLA is supporting on-site consultations by our Lake Biologist. During the half-hour consultation, you will gain a deeper understanding of the natural process and science that a natural shoreline plays in the health of the lake ecosystem. Site specific opportunities will be discussed so you can create a greenbelt plan for your shore.
