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.
As we look back on 2025, it's clear that it has been a transformative year for the Torch Lake Protection Alliance (TLPA), laying a strong foundation for our initiatives in 2026. As we look ahead to the new year, we remain steadfast in our mission to safeguard Torch Lake. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year!
Keep Torch Lake Blue
Protect the lake. Protect your investment.
As we announced in mid-November, a TLPA donor and supporter has offered an incredible matching challenge where for ANY funds donated by any NEW donor to the KTLB Campaign: that amount is TRIPLED!
Torch Lake’s clarity is fading. Rising algae threatens water quality, recreation, and property values. Keep Torch Lake Blue is our campaign to reverse the trend with science, action, and community support.
Why it matters:
- Clean water keeps property values strong
- Safer swimming, boating, and recreation
- Data-driven solutions backed by USGS research
Be part of the solution.
Your voice and support help secure a cleaner, healthier lake for generations.
we seek to:
- Encourage members to stay informed and take action against threats to Torch Lake.
- Support policies that protect the lake.
- Focus on key issues impacting lake health.
- Fund research to monitor and sustain water quality.
- Retain counsel when needed to address harmful activities.
