The Big Alum Lake Association is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization of nearly 175 member families, whose purpose is to oversee the well-being of Big Alum Lake and the surrounding watershed.  Our goal is to maintain the health and beauty of Big Alum Lake for all human and wildlife residents. B.A.L.A. was established to perform the following services: * maintain a healthy lake eco-system through regular lake/watershed testing and monitoring * educate residents about lake ecology and threats to water quality * promote public safety and safeguard the pond’s wildlife and environment
* encourage a sense of community for lake residents * on behalf of the Town of Sturbridge, monitor dam functionality, maintenance, and lake water levels as approved by the Town of Sturbridge We invite you to tour this site for information about activities on the lake.
