June 1 Starts the new year for BLA membership. You can join or renew online here.

This website is designed to acquaint you with our Association and its purpose and to provide timely information on BLA events.   Baboosic Lake is 222 acres and located primarily in the town of Amherst, although many homes along the east side are in Merrimack.

The BLA was formed in 1986 for the express purpose of helping protect, preserve, and improve the quality of Baboosic Lake and the surrounding watershed, (see bylaws) while maintaining and supporting the interests of lake users and Watershed property owners.

Our annual meeting is held in June at the Amherst or Merrimack Town Halls. A notice of the annual meeting is mailed to all members.

In 2006, the BLA was awarded a significant grant by the state to study and implement ways in which water quality can be improved through better runoff management.

Some members of our Association serve as lay lake monitors and faithfully take samples of our lake water. The samples are sent to the University of New Hampshire for evaluation. Reports of the samples are published in our Newsletter.

We publish a Newsletter which is sent to the entire watershed area twice a year. Members also receive a newsletter through the Summer Season of May through September. Our newsletter usually includes a message from our president, legislation on new boating laws and other related matters, helpful hints for keeping our lake clean, history of the lake, pictures of social events, etc.

The established SAFETY traffic pattern for motorboats on the lake is counter-clock wise. If you rent or loan your home or camp, please inform the occupants of the traffic pattern.

New members to our Association are welcome!! Dues are $15.00 a year for a family; $10.00 a year single membership.

You can join online in minutes. Included in the fee is our informative Newsletter and the opportunity to attend our annual meeting and social events. But most importantly, your contribution helps us keep your lake healthy.
