A shared commitment to the lakes we love.
The mission of the TLA is to preserve, protect, and promote Tenmile Lakes and its waters and watershed.
From North and South Tenmile Lakes to Tenmile and Eel Creek, Eel and Hall Lakes, our work spans every body of water and stream in the Tenmile Lakes watershed, and we advocate for it with local, county, state, federal and tribal partners.
