We value the historic and natural beauty of the lakeand work to protect and preserve it for future generations.

The LBA, formed in 1956 by a group of neighbors, continues today as a volunteer 501 C3 non-profit organization, working to support the long-term health of Lake Bomoseen.

We work to assure the health of the lake and its fauna and flora. We are intensely involved in the battle against invasive species and plants via our Greeters Program we host the Annual Picnic and summer Bomo Bash Social, co-sponsor the 4th of July fireworks, encourage and promote safe boating and set out warning buoys.

We do all this in close concert with the Townships of Castleton and Hubbardton, which surround the lake and the State of Vermont, the actual owner. We partner together for preservation and lake management.

We are a not-for-profit 501 c3 corporation run by a Board of Directors elected each year in July by the vote of the general membership.

 FAQs

  • The LBA, started in 1956 to serve as a community organization for social events and to work to protect, preserve, and promote Lake Bomoseen. We want to enjoy a healthy lake now and secure a pristine lake for future generations.

    We work with Vermont State agencies to run lake health programs, to organize social events that include the entire lake community.

  • The Lake Bomoseen Association works with local and state entities, serving as an aggregate voice of the property owners and lake users. Membership strengthens our sense of lake community.

    Taking an active roll in protecting, preserving, and promoting the lake ensures that the lake will be pristine in the future.

    Membership dues go to toward the The Greeters program, Seasonal social events, 4th of July fireworks, The Children’s Sailing Program, prizes for competitions, partnerships with other community groups.

  • Harvesting refers to a machine (a ‘Harvester’) that cuts invasive milfoil to clear navigational waterways on Lake Bomoseen. Think: large water-lawnmower.

    Cutting Eurasian Milfoil is not a solution as this invasive species, will quickly reseed from both the original plant and floating fragments. A new plant can start from even a fragment of milfoil. Regrowth is vigorous and rapid up to 20+ feet of depth..
