Email Updates Not Working

July 8, 2025

The mass email service we have used in the past (Mailchimp) is currently not working. We are working on getting things back up and running so we can send out email communications for meeting and lake treatment notices. Until that is back up and running, our main form of communication will be via our Facebook page (which is also shared with the Bear Lake Property Owners facebook group), as well as the Facebook feed on this website.

The March 11, 2025 BLLB meeting has been cancelled.

Report Lake ConcernsA new page has been added to the bllb.org website with instructions on how to report lake concerns to the BLLB. We have had a hot summer this year, so growth has been high the last couple of months. If you have anything concerning on your lakefront, please let us know. As a reminder, PLM comes out every month during the summer to survey and treat our lake. They will likely be out again next week or the week after.The focus of treatment is on INVASIVE plant species and algae. It is important to the health of our lake and the fish population to have native plant growth. If native plant growth becomes excessive and severely impacts the use of the lake, the BLLB will review concerns and authorize a native treatment. This is extremely rare and if approved must follow much more restrictive application according to our EGLE permit (this has only happened once in the history of the BLLB)If you ever have any questions, please reach out to us at board@bllb.org or attend one of our board meetings which fall on the 2nd Tuesday of every month (when there is business to discuss).Thank you, and we hope everyone is enjoying summer on our beautiful lake!The BLLB ...

Lake Treatment Tuesday, July 15PLM was out on our lake yesterday, and due to the significant invasive plant, and algae growth, they did not do any treatment. The hot weather has caused things to explode with growth. They don't have that quantity of materials on hand when they survey, and the BLLB requires approval for large treatments.We have approved a treatment for both the invasive growth and the algae, and it's scheduled for this Tuesday, July 15 (weather permitting). This map highlights the areas for treatment. ... See MoreSee Less

Lake Treatment Thursday, July 10PLM will be out on our lake this Thursday, July 10 to survey the lake and treat for invasive plants and algae if needed. As a reminder, if your lake shore is treated, they will put out a notice on your lakefront, which will list any restrictions to using the water for swimming or sprinkling.As a reminder, if you have any concerns about the condition of the lake, please reach out to Paul Pek, Jim Panici, or Craig Howell. (Contact information can be found on the bllb.org website). An email with the location, description, and pictures of your concern is the best way to inform us, so we can easily forward those on to PLM or GVSU to review. If you do this prior to Thursday, we can be sure to have PLM look closely when they are out on the lake.Thank you, and I hope everyone is enjoying our HOT summer!Paul PekChair, BLLB ...

Phosphorus Mitigation TreatmentPLM is planning to be on Bear Lake on Tuesday, June 2 (weather permitting) for our first of three phosphorus mitigation treatments. EutroSORB G is being used this year instead of Phoslock, but it has the same active ingredient (lanthanum).The same areas as last year will be treated, which includes Fenner's Ditch and the three deep holes on the lake. There are no water use restriction with this.As a reminder, this product binds to the phosphorus in the water, and then settles down to the lake bottom. For Fenner's Ditch residents, the less the bottom is disturbed, the better the phosphorus stays bound. Please maintain no wake, not to stir up the lake bottom. ... See MoreSee Less
