Your support is crucial to our success in bringing water quality improvements to the Lake, improving access, and understanding the lake’s unique challenges and potential solutions by engaging with technical experts.

• We are raising funds to pilot water quality improvement projects at the Lake to capture excess nutrients like phosphorous that feeds nuisance algae blooms and treat the water at the swim beach to keep the area open all summer for family fun and cooling off on hot summer days.
• We are asking technical experts to bring solutions that will help the Lake thrive!
• We are working to bring top-notch rowing, sailing and paddling events to our beautiful lake. The wide open space, beautiful view and top-notch rowing race course make Vancouver Lake a prime location for competitive water sport events which bring revenue to city and county coffers through tourism and spending at our local hotels, restaurants and businesses.
