The Lake Murray Association (LMA) is a non-profit, volunteer-staffed association formed in 1994.
The association charter states it was formed to provide a means of communication and enlighten its membership in matters that pertain to the protection, restoration and utilization of the waters of Lake Murray and its shoreline community. It provides information and education on issues related to the development, management, and use of Lake Murray. LMA conducts surveys and environmental studies directed at enhancing the health, safety and welfare of Lake Murray for all users. LMA serves users from four counties surrounding the lake. LMA is concerned with lake level, water quality, nuisance aquatic weed management, shoreline development and other issues that impact Lake Murray and its users. We welcome you to browse our web site so that you may learn more about our association and hopefully join our ongoing efforts to preserve and improve this beautiful resource we call Lake Murray. 

Membership is a conscious decision to join with like-minded people to achieve shared goals.
