About the Mascoma Lake Association

The objectives of the Mascoma Lake Association are to protect Lake Mascoma and its environment, to promote the responsible and sustainable enjoyment of the Lake by all its users, and to educate the public on issues related to these objectives.

The Mascoma Lake Association (MLA) was founded in 1923 “to promote neighborliness and to inspect lakefront properties in the winter months”. In those days lakefront properties consisted of summer “camps” owned by area residents who checked each other’s properties in the winter and organized a few socials in the summer. MLA’s role has changed considerably since then.

Membership is open to all members of the community as well as those who enjoy the use of Mascoma Lake for any form of lake activity during the year. Visit our membership page for more information.

The MLA Board of Directors is open to any nominated (and elected) member in good standing who has time and interest to contribute. The Board of Directors meets on the third Tuesday of the month, April to September. Meetings are open to the public. If you are interested in attending a board meeting, please contact us for specific details.

Education and information sharing are cornerstones of the MLA mission. We have historically strived to educate membership about matters that are important to the protection of the lake and its environment and for the responsible and sustainable enjoyment of the Lake by all its users. Through the various events and activities, the MLA Board and numerous committee members strive to deliver relevant and timely information. Whether it be printed materials, emails, social media postings, or face to face meetings and events, the MLA wants the Mascoma Lake community to be informed and aware of what makes Mascoma Lake a great place for enjoyment.
