Meet the Organizations of the Three Lakes
Curious about the alphabet soup of associations that surround our lakes? We hope this will help.
Three Lakes Council (3LC, TLC)
Lake residents organized the Three Lakes Council in 1970 to lead and coordinate the environmental efforts for the Lake Waccabuc – Oscaleta – Rippowam watershed. Our mission is to preserve and protect the entire 2,200 acre watershed through education, conservation and prevention. The only non-profit association in the watershed with this mission, we rely on the financial generosity and volunteer efforts of many lake area residents to accomplish our goals. This website is a product of the Three Lakes Council.
Lake Waccabuc Association (LWA)
The Lake Waccabuc Association has members on Cove Road, Lakeview Road, Oscaleta Road, and Old Pond Road. It manages access and boat storage along common right of ways, and also sponsors social and community functions.
Lakeside Association of Lake Waccabuc
Lakeside Association of Lake Waccabuc is a private association of 10 houses which have deeded rights to the Lakeside right of way. The association was created in 1966 when the original owner of land gave it to 10 of his friends to insure that they would have water access for many years to come. As new families buy these houses it is their responsibility to pay the taxes and maintenance of the dock, right of way and lawn. Members may keep their boats on the property. For a nominal fee, neighbors can use the Lakeside Association’s RoW to launch their boats. Feel free to contact Ron Tetelman with any questions.
Oscaleta Lake Association (aka Knapp Road Association)
Oscaleta Lake Association is composed of homeowners on Knapp Road. The organization’s primary role is to pay for road maintenance, but also provides a limited right of way access.
Perch Bay Association
Perch Bay Association consists of certain properties along East Ridge Road and Perch Bay Road that have access to Lake Waccabuc shoreline. Contact Linda Broudy at linda.broudy@gmail.com for more information.
