Although it began as The Cottage Owners Association in May of 1954, The Barbee Lakes Property Owners Association became the entity it is today. The BLPOA consists of and is open to membership by people who own, rent or use these lakes and are interested in keeping the area a great place to live, play and work. All of the Board and other participating members volunteer their time, money and effort to accomplish these aims. We encourage you to join us to preserve this wonderful resource for future generations.

In accordance with the stated goals outlined in the bylaws the following projects currently have priority:

• Continue the work with Indiana DNR on the Lake and River Enhancement Program (LARE), to reduce erosion and control offsite sedimentation.
• Continue the annual pest aquatic vegetation management program.
• Replace and repair damaged signs.
• Install dry fire hydrants to enhance winter months fire protection.
• Encourage lake friendly yard fertilization and wastewater management to protect the quality of the ground and surface water.
• Promote boating safety.
• Preserve the wetlands for wildlife and its natural water filtering ability.
