Torch Lake Protection Alliance's mission is to preserve and protect the health and beauty of Torch Lake, its watershed and surrounding environment for generations to come.
TLPA was established in 1994 to provide a unifying voice for people who regard the preservation of Torch Lake as a top priority, enabling current and future generations to enjoy the responsible use of this geological jewel.
