Hello. My name is Guy Middleton. In addition to my role as Lake Manager for Upper Saranac Lake, I am a Regional Director for Adirondack Lakes Alliance (ALA); a newly formed group of lake associations, town supervisors and shore owners from within the Adirondack Park. The group’s purpose is to share information and resources, and to have a voice representing the similar issues surrounding our Adirondack Lakes. The ALA’s primary mission is to protect and preserve our Adirondack waters. 

Lake associations and towns are being significantly challenged by water quality issues, invasive species, shoreline degradation, habitat destruction, ecological threats, and the economic impact that they pose for all of us. ALA seeks to provide opportunities for those who share this common concern to participate in discussions that explore approaches to responding to these issues.

I am writing you in hopes that if your lake association is not currently a member of ALA, you will join us in this Adirondack Park effort.  In just a few months, nearly sixty (60) lake associations have signed on to our membership roster.  In addition we have created partnerships with Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, Paul Smith’s College, local government and several other agencies who serve on our advisory board.

We recently concluded our first inaugural Summer Conference with an impressive list of attendees representing lakes associations, town government officials, government agencies, non for profits groups, and educational representatives. The conference was a great opportunity for Lake Associations to network and gather information that will benefit their own lake.

The ALA can represent the major stakeholders, property owners and recreational users of our waters. Lake associations throughout the Adirondack Park have not been represented collectively and ALA can make an important contribution in this effort. The ALA seeks to become an active partner with lake organizations, such as yours.

ALA is looking forward to future discussions involving the protection and preservation of our waters. Please let me know your interest in being part of ALA, or with any questions you may have about ALA. In addition please feel free to pass along our information to anyone that may be of interest in protecting our lakes.
