We are the voice for Otter Tail Lakes property owners & residents.

Otter Tail Lakes Property Owners Association (OTLPOA) is a nonprofit organization formed to promote the preservation, protection, and reasonable use of our area lakes. OTLPOA serves as an information resource and advocate for the welfare and civic development of the Otter Tail Lakes community in west-central Minnesota.

We listen carefully to you and use what we hear to develop programs, advocate for positive change, and serve as a resource for our lakes area community.

Our programs educate residents and promote a healthy lake lifestyle.

OTLPOA manages several initiatives and programs to pursue our mission:

• Our Lakeshore Directory helps residents stay connected

• Advocacy ensures you’re heard at state, regional and local organizations 

• Education informs residents on lake issues such as invasive species

• Worm spraying helps control forest tent caterpillars along our lakeshores 

• Water testing provides vital clarity tracking data

• Buoy placement warns boaters of rock hazards

• The OTLPOA Foundation generates funding for special projects such as free swimming lessons for children and adults
