2026 - 2027 Fundraiser
June 24 marks another important milestone for Eagle Lake, Eagle Lake Property Owners Inc. (ELPOI), our property owners, and everyone who treasures this special lake.
ELPOI has completed treatment of the southwest side of Eagle Lake with ProcellaCOR EC, concluding the herbicidal treatment of the entire lake. We are hopeful that this year’s treatment will produce results similar to last year’s successful efforts.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Ready-Scout LLC for its professional work and continued partnership. The progress made at Eagle Lake has been recognized by Adirondack organizations, and we are proud that the commitment and persistence of our lake community continue to make a difference.
Our work, however, must continue. Milfoil can return, and ongoing monitoring and treatment are essential to protecting Eagle Lake’s natural ecological balance, water quality, and recreational enjoyment.
This year’s treatment cost is approximately $37,000. Through the Wine and Cheese Fundraiser, ELPOI has already raised $7,500 toward our seasonal fundraising goal of $30,000.
ELPOI has sufficient funds to pay for this year’s treatment by combining resources from the General Fund and the Invasive Fund. However, our goal is to rely primarily on the Invasive Fund so that ELPOI can continue to protect Eagle Lake without reducing resources needed for other important lake and community priorities.
We are grateful for the many comments about Eagle Lake’s beauty, clean water, and the enjoyment of a lake free from milfoil. Maintaining those qualities requires the support of our entire community.

July 2025 Update
We'd like to thank the property owners and friends of Eagle Lake and Eagle Lake Property Owners, Inc for being so generous and supporting our Milfoil Capital Campaign!
It's official! The ELPOI board is excited to announce they have selected the top three areas of the lake for the removal of Eurasian Watermilfoil. The three areas, as determined by the experts we hired, are the sunken Island west of Charles Island, (9 )Ti Bay (7), and the Northern side of the Causeway (3). We will look at the other areas in the future for treatment, or as funds allow.
Treatment took place on the morning of June 26th!
We are all delighted that we finally have the chance to get this invasive plant under control. As a reminder, this work is thanks in large part to the generous support of the property owners and friends of Eagle Lake. We are looking forward to continuing the fund-raising campaign and having a summer full of lots of fun on Eagle Lake. A huge thanks to the following neighbors who generously supported this project to help us raise $42,000.
Sue Clark, ELPOI Treasurer and Milfoil Capital Campaign Chairperson
