Special Projects happening on the lake.
Get The Lead Out – Summer 2021 Initiative
CLAA has joined together with the MPCA, DNR, USGS and USFWS to push this three-year initiative forward. The goal of this project is to reduce loon mortality and increase reproductive success of common loons in eight Minnesota counties, including Cass, Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard and Itasca.
When cleaning out your tackle box at the end of the fishing season, take a moment and put aside those old lead sinkers and lures
and recycle with us.
Contact us, and we’ll do an exchange with new lead-free tackle!

One Watershed
One Plan
The Clearwater River Watershed includes the Clearwater River, Ruffy Brook, Lost River, Hill River, Poplar River, Lower Badger Creek and their tributaries. Major lakes in the watershed include Clearwater, Maple, and Pine lakes.
The counties, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Watershed District in this area began a state-funded planning process in 2021 to prioritize where to work and what to work on in the watershed.
Shoreline Restoration Project
In the fall of 2018, four properties were involved in the Ecofootprint Grant. This Grant assisted property owners in their shoreline restoration projects.
