Friends of Vancouver Lake

Formed in 2019, the Friends of Vancouver Lake’s mission is preserving and enhancing the environmental and recreational qualities of Vancouver Lake. The Friends are working to build and strengthen this community’s commitment to our Lake by gathering allies and raising money to support development of a lake management plan and improved water quality.

It is clear that Vancouver Lake represents a unique community asset with possibilities for water quality improvements, and enhanced recreational access. As long as we take care of it, the lake has much to offer.

Our Mission: Friends of Vancouver Lake provides leadership to restore our magnificent resource by partnering with public and private entities to ensure that Vancouver Lake provides enhanced environmental, recreational, and economic benefits to our community for current and future generations.

Our vision: Vancouver Lake is home to diverse fish, animal, and plant species, attracts outdoor and water recreation enthusiasts, and returns economic benefits for our region.

By fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship, we envision a future where Vancouver Lake remains a cherished and vibrant part of our community's landscape. 

Join us in our mission to preserve and protect this natural treasure, ensuring its legacy for years to come.
