The Schroon Lake Association is a 501(c)3 not for profit volunteer organization - dedicated to preserving, promoting, and protecting the welfare of Schroon Lake, the Schroon River, and the watershed area. We raise awareness regarding the vital issues surrounding the ecology and lifestyle of our lake and its surrounding area.

Since 1911 the SLA has been devoted to protecting and preserving our beautiful watershed. In testing our lakes and rivers and eradicating invasive species, we have helped keep the purity of our waters that define the Town of Schroon and neighboring communities. We work with other organizations and state and local government to stop threats from outside our area to protect our precious watershed.

Residents play a crucial role in lake protection by actively participating in best management practices that raise awareness about the importance of a healthy lake, including actions such as supporting lake management initiatives, awareness of Invasive Species that threaten our lakes, the damage caused by storm water runoff, proper waste disposal, responsible landscaping and reducing phosphorous based fertilizers.
