About

The mission of LPLA is to preserve Little Platte Lake and its environs and watershed, through stewardship and study of its environment and wildlife.

Formally organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2003, the association seeks to preserve and share the best that Little Platte Lake has to offer, for residents and vacationers alike, for now and all future generations. 

The Association is organized on a membership basis.  Any owner, including an individual or organization, of property within the area bounded by M-22 and Saffron Road on the north, Indian Hill Road on the east, and Deadstream Road on the southwest, and the spouse of any individual owner of such property, shall be eligible for membership in the Association. Dues cover a year beginning June 1st and ending May 31st. 

See our Membership page for current membership rates and a membership application/renewal form.​  Active members receive an annual newsletter and a few email notices for association business and membership purposes (the only use thereof).
