Science-driven insights guide every decision we make to protect the lake.
Stopping threats like milfoil before they take hold.
Addressing runoff, nutrients, and land use across the watershed.
Empowering residents, partners, and volunteers to take action.
For decades, the Skaneateles Lake Association has worked alongside scientists, partners, and the community to protect this extraordinary resource.
There are many ways to help protect Skaneateles Lake—start with one.
Help fund research, prevention, and protection efforts that keep the lake healthy for future generations.
Stay connected with lake news, stewardship reminders, research updates, and upcoming programs.
Take part in community efforts, events, and hands-on opportunities that help protect Skaneateles Lake.
The Skaneateles Lake Association is focused on some of the greatest threats to the quality of our lake — invasive species prevention, harmful algal bloom research and monitoring, milfoil control and hemlock protection.
Established, supported and led by a volunteer force of community members, we have been protecting the lake for over fifty years. Your support is important to help us continue the valuable and necessary work we have started.
