Long Pond Association
Lakeville and East Freetown Massachusetts

We are the Long Pond Association

  Dedicated to the preservation and improvement of

Long Pond in Lakeville and Freetown, Massachusetts.

To fulfill this mission, our association focuses on several critical environmental and community areas:

  • Invasive Weed Eradication: The LPA actively manages invasive species like milfoil and fanwort using advanced methods such as Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting (DASH) and mechanical Eco-Harvesters.
  • Water Quality Protection: They conduct weekly water quality monitoring in partnership with the University of Rhode Island Watershed Watch to track pH, phosphorus, and bacteria levels.
  • Watershed Advocacy: The group promotes "Long Pond Friendly Living," educating residents on how reducing fertilizers and managing runoff protects the pond's health.
  • Financial & Legislative Support: The association works with state officials to secure funding, such as a $60,000 grant for weed management programs

Join Us For One Fun Filled Day

This is a big fundraiser for the Long Pond Association in conjunction with our great friends at the Lakeville Eagles!

Enjoy a a day on the pond and then join us at The Eagles for music, food, good friends and a great time!

 How It Works

  • The Concept: Participants travel a course and visit designated check points on Long Pond to draw playing cards. The goal is to finish with the best five-card poker hand.
  • The "Slow" Style: A "slow" poker run is designed for a relaxed, family-friendly cruise at safe, leisurely speeds while visiting stops along Long Pond.
  • Community and Purpose: The event brings together supporters,  boaters, residents, and organizations (like the Lakeville Eagles Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 3994) to enjoy the pond, socialize, an raise awareness and funds to support environmental causes, such as pond maintenance and weed control.

We are Dedicated to Being Part of the Solution

Our July 25, 2026 Annual Meeting Was a Big Success! 

Experienced professionals dedicated to the LPA's success.

 Highlights:

- We are now the proud owners of our own Weed Harvesting boat and a DASH Boat.

- Looking for a Water Testing Partner so we can post water quality statements regularly on our website.

- Help with the Weeds by pulling and in front of your property. Remember, pull weeds for the bottom with root intact.

- Massachusetts Environmental Police Safety Bureau - Key Note Speaker

    ~  Massachusetts Basic Boating Courses. New rules. Stay Safe, Get Certified.

     ~The bureau is currently stretched thin.

     ~ If you have an issue on the pond, especially unruly jet skyers call the MEP and report the issue. The more we speak up the more attention the issue will receive.

Our Progress

Looking Forward in 2026

We are dedicated to the preservation of Long Pond

Long Pond is located in the towns of Lakeville and East Freetown, Massachusetts.

Each lake is unique and each has its own group of people - the property owners and visitors to the lake - who are passionate about the quality of the lake and its future.

It is human nature to protect what we care about, and it is up to everyone who cares about a particular lake to leave it clean as a legacy for future generations.


We are working closely with SRPEDD Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District  and APC Assawompset Pond Complex and are happy to say that progress is being made on the invasive weed removal issue.


Long Pond Association is an approved as a nonprofit organization.  By this summer we will own our own harvester in the hopes to mitigate the milfoil weeds in Long Pond. It take a community to get this done. Kindly consider joining us in our efforts by joining us.

Stay Safe This Summer
