Friends of Lake Afton is a non-profit organization that has been taking care of Lake Afton since 1969 for the public’s enjoyment and for the benefit of the wildlife that lives in and depends on Lake Afton for shelter, food, and water.

Funds are raised for the expensive algae treatments that Lake Afton requires every year between April and November.

The treatments are safe, made of biological products including bacteria and enzymes, and cost FOLA close to $20,000 every year.
