Aitkin County Lakes and Rivers Association (aka ACLARA) represents 20 lake associations in Aitkin County. Founded in 2005, ACLARA brings together lake/river associations throughout Aitkin County for the purpose of educating members on keeping its lakes/rivers and shore land healthy for future generations.
Meetings are held on the second Saturday, April through October, usually at the Aitkin County Library stating at 9:30 a.m. Members are encouraged to discuss their association’s issues, if any, and share ideas on lake/river management, water quality and conservation matters that impact the waters we all appreciate and enjoy. Communication to the membership is via email.
Annual, nonrefundable dues are $25 for one representative and one or two alternates. Dues cover the costs of any pertinent information to keep members informed on important issues, local expert speakers on a variety of topics at the monthly meetings and minimal administrative costs. Individuals who share a common interest in the well-being of our lakes/rivers and are not part of an active lake/river association may also join annually for $25.
Associations vary in structure, and ACLARA is ready to help get new lake/river associations up and running.
