Crystal Lake Association

Located in Montcalm County (Crystal, MI) Crystal Lake Association(CLA) is comprised of a board of directors to oversee activities.

The Crystal Lake Cottage Owners Association, organized in 1932, changed their name to CLA in 1994 and has been active in projects, programs and issues to make the Crystal Community a better and safer place to live and visit.

Thanks to everyone’s positive response to the new Welcome to Crystal Lake banners that were installed yesterday!

We made a significant error in our post by not thanking and giving photo credit to Crystal’s own Larry Johnston who took the original photo! Our community would be a lesser place without Larry’s fantastic photos and his FaceBook page “Crystal Comes Together”.

Thanks Larry!!!

Today is an exciting day for your CLA and Crystal! In time for the upcoming 250th celebration of the USA, volunteers from the CLA board assisted four CMS trucks installing new welcoming banners utility poles around the lake and in town! Special thanks to Jeremy Sheets for providing four fully staffed bucket trucks to install 60 banners!

Thanks also to our CLA members who make this project possible with your annual dues and contributions!

Recently, a photo of a large goldfish (koi) in the lake was posted on Crystal Comes Together FB page.

This is a very dangerous situation for the health of Crystal Lake.

These pet fish can disrupt the native fish species. They can destroy native weeds, and beds.

It’s illegal to place any non native fish into public lakes.

If the fish is seen or caught, please remove it from the lake.

Your CLA was recently contacted by a local property owner. The CLA has no authority to deal with disputes between neighbors. However, many of us have small lots on and around Crystal Lake. Small lots require good neighbors. Please, be sensitive to your music levels, pet noise, pet droppings, parking respect and lot lines. Again, your CLA has no authority in these matters, but ask that while you enjoy the lake and community, please be respectful of your neighbors.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

Your CLA has been busy preparing for Summer 2026!

We’ve completed a successful spring Goose management program. We have a healthy population of Canadian Geese still here for those who enjoy them!

Ou beloved Common Loons are here and ready to sing for us all.

our Spring invasive treatment is completed after a great report card on water quality.

Lake level has dropped considerably after our near record April rainfall, and is now near “normal” spring level.

Our board members are primed and ready to hand deliver CLA placards and directories this weekend.

If you haven’t yet renewed your membership, let us know and we can assist this weekend. We accept cash, checks and credit card via web site.

Our lake management team (state licensed contractor) made their spring evaluation Monday 5/18. Their findings were positive, requiring less treatment than last year. The treatments were applied today. The attached map shows locations and invasive species being treated. These treatments have no impact on wildlife including fish beds.

Your CLA is thankful for the member support that allows us to keep our lake beautiful and healthy for generations to come!
