Lake Leelanau Lake Association

Kids’ fishing day is this Sunday, June 24th from 11AM to 3PM at Veronica Valley Park (3885-, 4243 S Lake Leelanau Dr, Lake Leelanau, MI 49653).

Just like previous years, the pond has been stocked and it is free to fish (no license required). A limited number of rods and reels are available if you don’t have one.

The Lake Leelanau Lake Association is seeking a part time Freshwater Biologist. We need someone who loves Lake Leelanau and has a strong lake ecology background to conduct and manage water quality efforts. This is a part-time, hourly, contract position (perfect for either a science teacher or retired biologist) requiring a minimum of 200 – 300 hours per year.

The Leelanau County Sheriff’s Department of Marine Safety will be offering a Boater Safety Class Saturday, June 23, 2018 from 8:00AM to 4:00PM.

With late ice coming off many of the lakes, the water is only about 40 degrees in many spots. Remember the deeper you go the colder it gets. This year the lakes are dangerously cold due to cold weather temperatures. Enter the water slowly and make sure it feels comfortable for you and your child. A temperature below 70 degrees is cold to most swimmers.
