WHAT's NEW
Keep Torch Blue Campaign
Have you seen the signs sprouting up this spring around the lake reminding everyone not to use fertilizer? Does fertilizer cause GBA? We don’t know. What we do know is that it fills the lake with nutrients it doesn’t need. If you would like to have a sign in your yard, please contact Bruce Hulteen at bmhulteen@gmail.com or Barb Carton at cartonjandb@torchlake.com. We will put the sign in and pick it up in the fall. There is no cost to you. Help us spread the word about dangerous chemicals.

2020 Sandbar Fundraising Drive
TLPA is again at the forefront of keeping the focus on SANDBAR SAFETY at the south end of Torch Lake. We must remain vigilant in providing what is needed to keep the lake and surrounding areas sanitary, clean and safe for all of us.
To that end we are asking for contributions to the TLPA SANDBAR SAFETY FUND to help defray the costs of added local law enforcement, Porta-Jon’s and trash receptacles placed at access sites at the south end of the lake. You can click the link below to make your donation online.
Sandbar Safety Fund
You can also mail in your contribution to TLPA, P.O. Box 706, Bellaire MI 49615. Please make your check payable to TLPA, and be sure to write Sandbar Safety Fund on the memo line.
Thank you for your participation in keeping this beautiful lake beautiful!
