FALL BEACH CLEANUP: We'll be tidying the beaches on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m. Please join us to help keep our beaches beautiful. Bring a rake, shovels, trash bags, etc. It's also a great way to meet & spend time with your neighbors. See you there!

Phosphorous Reduction Project - This past spring, we continued our multi-year Phosphorous Reduction Project and treated the lake with a natural phosphorous binding compound. The treatment takes the phosphorous out of the water column so it is no longer available for the algae to use and grow. This ultimately prevents the eutrophication, or lack of oxygen, of the lake. The compound has been used for many years in drinking water sources; although, the one drawback is it’s expensive. We used our Lake Improvement Fund to finance the first two rounds, but we plan another treatment next year. Please help make the lake healthier and donate at https://www.rainbowlake.org/lake-environment/. There is quite a bit of information on that page and we will be available to discuss at the picnic.
The phosphorous reduction takes time, so we will continue to treat the filamentous algae (perfectly safe, just a little unsightly) throughout the summer so we can enjoy our beautiful lake!
We hope to see you at the picnic for fun and companionship on the 23rd.
Have a great summer and enjoy this wonderful lake and community!

Dear Neighbors,
We now have public boats! In order to reduce the number of boats on the beaches, the RLA will now have four RLA member boats on Crescent Beach. They have “RLA” stenciled on the side and we have both kayaks and canoes. We will put some life preservers in the beach shed and a few paddles, but we encourage members to bring their own paddles and life preservers. This is the first year we have tried it, and, if successful, we will add some more boats. Please be courteous and return the boats, paddles and life vests to Crescent Beach after use.
