About US

The Contoocook Lake Area Preservation Association (CLAPA) was formed in August 1969 as a non-profit 501c3 organization. We are an all-volunteer membership group, open to all who have a common goal to protect the environment and well-being of Contoocook Lake.

Membership

We are working hard to increase membership—for everyone who enjoys it today and in the future. Benefits include:

Help directly fund invasive weed control and lake protection

Stay informed about lake conditions and projects

Support a healthier lake for recreation and wildlife

Join a group of neighbors who care about preserving this special place

Protecting the lake now is far easier—and more affordable—than restoring it later.
