Since its formation in 1935, the Higgins Lake Property Owners Association (HLPOA) has been involved in efforts to “protect, preserve and enhance the quality of Higgins Lake and its surrounding watershed.”

Over the years the organization and its members have been involved in activities such as water quality testing, control of invasive aquatic species, reduction of shoreline erosion and promotion of greenbelts, environmental education opportunities for area students and collaboration on projects with the Higgins Lake Foundation, Huron Pines, United States Geological Survey, Michigan Lakes & Streams Association and local government boards and agencies.

The Higgins Lake Property Owners’ Association invites Higgins Lake riparians to join one of the oldest lake associations in Michigan, formed in 1935.  The purpose of the HLPOA, in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation, is to:

• Represent the interests of the lakefront property owners on Higgins Lake, and
• Engage in activities to preserve and enhance the water quality of Higgins Lake, and
• Work with local and state government officials on issues that affect the environment and water quality of Higgins Lake, and
• Inform the HLPOA membership and the community of activities performed for the preservation and enhancement of Higgins Lake for future generations.

The Association is richer for having members whose relatives were among the founding members of the HLPOA as well as families who are just beginning their lake histories. Each year the Association is excited to welcome new lakefront owners as members. The HLPOA benefits from a bounty of experience as well as an excitement of fresh views and energy.

The HLPOA Board is committed to open communication.  Board meeting minutes, updates on ongoing business, reports, correspondence and environmental information can be found elsewhere on the Association’s website.  HLPOA members are encouraged to attend their Annual Membership Meeting, usually held on the 3rd Saturday of July at the Roscommon High School auditorium.
