The Dam at Gull Lake, commissioned in May 2021, has been in operation for over 3 years. It’s primary function is to control the Lake water level within a range of + 6 inches throughout the seasons.
Whether you are boating, fishing, skiing or simply enjoying the Lake’s scenery, the Dam significantly enhances the quality of life and the value of lakeshore properties on Gull Lake.
Once again, the Michigan-native wildflowers on the Gull Lake Dam property were in full bloom this Spring. If you can, drive by or walk to enjoy the wonderful sight from the road! This annual newsletter details GLDA’s income and expenses for the year.
The 2024 annual contribution is $50 per household. As mentioned before, these funds are allocated for dam maintenance, grounds maintenance and liability insurance with any surplus going into reserves for future major Dam repairs.
This Fall we will be planting twelve trees on the Dam property. The mix will include Michigan-native White Spruce and Dogwood trees. This will help stabilize the soil and reduce erosion. Additionally, the trees will provide a natural screen for the Dam’s ninety-two feet of chain-link security fencing.
Lastly, we are looking for Gull Lake residents who have an interest in becoming a Gull Lake Dam Association Board member. If interested, please contact us though this website (use "Contact" at top of page).
