Property Owner's Association (POA) - About Us
The Mountain Lake Property Owners Association is located around a 70-acre lake at the end of Killingsworth Cove Road in Gurley, AL. It is recorded under the 1985 Articles of Incorporation as Mountain Lake Estates Property Owners Association. Use of the lake (fishing, boating, swimming) requires a permit. Only owners within the Mountain Lake Subdivision
may purchase an annual usage permit. Owners in good standing are required to purchase a guest permit for lake use by persons other than the owner. Work in Progress to restore the integrity of the dam. What can I volunteer to do to help??!!
-Trees and vegetation are being removed on the lake side of the dam.
-Vegetation the opposite side of the dam still needs to be removed. Tree roots cause the dam to deteriorate even quicker because the roots loosen the soil.
-Concrete aggregate (first batch donated from MAPCO in Gurley) has been added to lake side of dam to widen and help stabilize erosion.
-Smaller pieces of aggregate and dirt are still needed to fill in around the concrete slabs.
-Renting a skid steer loader is costly (~$1200/40 hours) plus purchasing diesel fuel. To complete work on the dam, more funds are urgently needed. Volunteers with experience on running a skid steer loader are needed! If you cannot operate a skid steer loader, you can donate some time serving as a safety spotter to the equipment driver and/or do common area maintenance.
-Volunteer to bring food, snacks, water or beverages to the workers.
-Bring your w**d trimmer, mower, loppers, chain saws and/or pole trimmer to work on removing the vegetation.
-Volunteer to spray 2,4-D Amine (not harmful to aquatic life) to undesirable vegetation on the dam.
-Haul downed trees on the dam to the boat launch area and cut them into manageable pieces.
