Membership

Join your neighbors in working to preserve and protect Bear Lake, its watershed, and its ecosystems!


Membership in the Bear Lake Association is a great way to support the continued ecological health of Bear Lake for future generations and to stay engaged on issues affecting the lake and its residents. Association members can vote at the Annual Meeting each June, run to serve on the Board of Directors, and get to know their lake neighbors at the Annual Picnic each August.

Your dues support the Association’s operations, including water quality studies, Clean Boats Clean Waters (CBCW) boat inspections, education and workshops, the annual meeting and picnic and membership in county and state lake organizations. The Bear Lake Association is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions, including dues, are deductible as charitable contributions on your federal tax return.

Membership dues are $25.00 per household per year; however, additional donations are encouraged.
