Friends of Bighorn Lake

Friends of Bighorn Lake, a 501(c)6 organization was formed to:

  • Partner as communities and destinations around the lake in our marketing efforts so we can draw a greater number of tourists to Bighorn Lake.
  • Work with state and federal funding sources to improve the Bighorn Lake infrastructure, such as boat ramps, docks, slips, camping facilities, and silt management.
  • Work towards the completion and implementation of an updated Bighorn Lake “master plan” that will guide budgets and other decisions for future improvements.
  • Educate the public about the economic impact of Bighorn Lake, as driven by its superb recreational amenities; further, help business leaders and the public to understand the serious impact of lake levels on these recreationalamenities and in turn on our local economy.
  • Be the public’s voice and work tirelessly to make a good lake great.
  • Take the lead in volunteer efforts to assist BICA when ever and where ever possible.

Partner Category

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Those who experience the outdoors and wildlife first-hand become its greatest conservationists.  We partner with these groups to foster their love of wildlife and conservation.
