FOREST LAKE
LAKE ASSOCIATION
LOCATED IN BEAUTIFUL FOREST LAKE, MINNESOTA
ABOUT US
The Forest Lake Lake Association was founded in 2007 by residents on Forest Lake in hopes of further protecting and sustaining it for all to enjoy. The FLLA's goal is to educate its residents on how to protect and conserve the lake for future generations as well as work in conjunction with the City of Forest Lake, The Minnesota DNR and the neighboring Watershed Districts to establish "plans of attack" against Invasive species, lake pollution, etc.
​
The board members of the FLLA have dedicated their time and energy into growing the membership of the Lake Association as well as educating the community of Forest Lake about why the FLLA matters and the good work they're doing to keep it clean, safe and enjoyable for all that visit.
MISSION STATEMENT
The FLLA was established to build an expanding, sustainable entity of caring individuals to promote, protect, improve, and conserve the natural resources that is Forest Lake for future generations.

LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT
My name is Kenneth Wood. It’s my honor and pleasure to serve as the new President of the Forest Lake Lake Association (FLLA), succeeding Chris Parrucci. My wife and I bought our home on 1st Lake in 2014, and I joined the FLLA Board in 2020. We love the lake and the vibrant Forest Lake community, and we are active members of FLLA and other local organizations.
Many of you may already know me, as I’ve been the master of ceremonies for the FLLA Annual State of the Lake Social at the American Legion for the past several years.
​
OUR LAKE, OUR COMMUNITY
Forest Lake is an incredible natural asset and recreational resource for our area. Because the lake is in such great shape, homeowners around it contribute a significant portion of the tax base that supports our City, our Schools, and other local services.
Protecting the lake today ensures a vibrant and financially strong community for future generations.
WORKING TOGETHER
What I value most about the FLLA is the enthusiasm of our Members and the strong partnerships we have built with:
-
The Comfort Lake–Forest Lake Watershed District
-
The City of Forest Lake
-
Washington County
-
Our many Corporate Lake Sponsors
Together, we work to keep the lake as free of aquatic invasive species (AIS) as possible, promote safe recreation year-round, and help all of us enjoy its natural beauty. We are also grateful for our volunteer Lake Ambassadors, a dedicated group of Members who help the Board with important projects every year.
My sincere thanks to those of you who are already Members and Corporate Lake Sponsors of FLLA. To continue meeting our current and future goals, we need every lake shore homeowner and local business to join FLLA. To join, please click on the Membership tab.
​
OUR MISSION
The Board and I are committed to upholding our Mission Statement:
“The FLLA was established to build an expanding, sustainable entity of caring individuals to promote, protect, improve, and conserve the natural resources that is Forest Lake for future generations.”
LOOKING AHEAD
One of my personal goals as President is to work with our Board and partners to find new ways to reduce the risk of additional invasive species entering Forest Lake. Keeping new threats out is essential to the lake’s long-term health and helps us continue treating existing AIS in a cost-effective way.
​
Please say hello when you see me on or around the lake—and let us know how we’re doing. Your feedback and involvement make all the difference.
​
Sincerely,
Kenneth Wood
President, Forest Lake Lake Association
