2025 BMLAA Annual Meeting
The BMLAA Annual Meeting is Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Forest Township Hall. Registration begins at 8:30am. Meeting starts at 9:00am.
2025 BMLAA Annual Membership Dues
It’s time to renew your annual BMLAA membership. Dues are only $20 per person and are used to help pay for AIS monitoring at the public landing. Dues should be sent to the address on the membership form. Please share this form with any new neighbors so they can be added to the BMLAA email list and directory.
Loons Nesting
There are currently four pairs of loons nesting on the lake. The nests are located by the public access, on the sunken island, on Christiansen point and on the island near Bad Medicine Resort. Please give the loons some space when you are near these areas.
AIS Monitoring
In 2024, Becker County budgeted 500 hours of inspector time for Bad Medicine Lake. Additional funding was provided by Forest Township and BMLAA, resulting in a total of 950 inspections hours completed. A total of 1,292 inspections were performed. Almost a quarter of boats entering Bad Medicine were last used on a designated infested waterbody. For additional details see this summary of 2024 AIS monitoring results.
While membership dues help, they are insufficient to cover BMLAA’s share of the AIS monitoring cost. Becker County covers 500 of the 950 hours of AIS monitoring. The cost for the remaining 450 hours is split between Forest Township and BMLAA. BMLAA’s share of the cost is $3,375. Please consider a donation to help cover this cost. Donations can be sent to the address on the membership form.
Board of Directors Meetings
The BMLAA board of directors meet monthly during the months of April through September. Prior to each meeting, an email is sent to all BMLAA members with the opportunity to request a link to the meeting.
