In the late 1970’s The Loon Lakes Management Association was formed by a group of volunteer homeowners who owned properties around East and West Loon Lakes. They came together for the purpose of handling any concerns they had regarding the lakes. In 1989 a Special Service Tax Area (SSA) was set up for the purpose of providing funding for the care and maintenance of the lakes. The Loon Lakes Management Association, by then representing all property owners in subdivisions around the lake, was named to work in a stewardship role with the SSA. Today, the objectives of the Loon Lake Management Association are to provide a coordinated and unified effort for the implementation of policies and programs for the long-term management, restoration and protection of East and West Loon lakes in Antioch, IL, including the management of the lakes’ watersheds and other natural resources and manmade features within the defined SSA area. The Loon Lakes Management Association works together with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Lake County Health Department Ecological Services, and Lake County Forest Preserve District toward these goals.
