Four Lakes Task Force is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization managed and operated by lake residents and industry experts. It serves as a "Delegated Authority" for Midland and Gladwin counties to administer and oversee the maintenance and operations of the four dams and lakes, so the lake communities can enjoy the water long into the future.
OUR GOALS
Four Lakes Task Force is engaged with public officials, and has three main goals.
|
|
Return all four lakes to the normal (legal) lake levels.
|
|
|
Implement a sustainable structure to manage and maintain the four dams to ensure a sustainable lake system.

|
Establish an environmental and recreational plan that can be managed by each lake's community.

History
The history of the four dams dates back to 1923 when a hydropower company was founded. Ninety-five years later in 2018, Four Lakes Task Force was established and the hydropower license was revoked from Edenville Dam.
