Water Quality & Testing
FLG’s
Water Quality program is one of our organization’s key and most important elements of our mission. The program currently has three major parts: stream or in-flow water testing, lake water testing, and lake sedimentation measurement. These programs are only effective through the efforts of our donors and volunteers.
Watershed Managment
Developed in partnership with Equinox Environmental of Asheville, NC, our Watershed Management Plan is visionary in both design and scope. It furthers our mission to protect and preserve the lake by providing a roadmap for moving forward, guiding FLG toward a future where our work is proactive rather than reactive.
Lake Clean-Up
We recognize the importance of protecting and maintaining a clean lake for both nature and our community. That's why lake clean up has been part of FLG for most of its existence. This annual event brings friends, neighbors, and concerned citizens together for a fun, family-friendly event complete with prizes and a complimentary lunch.
Boating Safety
One of the core tenants of FLG’s mission is the safe and fun enjoyment of our lake, and promoting boating safety plays a significant role in our work. We want to make certain that the public is safe, responsible, and free to enjoy boating activities by promoting awareness and practice of the laws, rules and regulations that all should observe.
