Membership in Spider Chain of Lakes Association (SCLA) is a small dollar investment in a big MISSION.  Annual dues cover only a small portion of SCLA annual costs.  Eligibility for membership includes property owners on the Spider Chain of Lakes and property owners within one mile of the Spider Chain of Lakes.

The "per member cost" is estimated to be over $400 annually.  If you wish to cover the estimated "per member cost" of our mission activities please join or renew at a level that allows us to cover our costs of protecting the lakes.  In 2023 SCLA spent $40,000 on boat inspections over five months to attempt to keep our lakes free of the most damaging invasive species.

SCLA annual expenses are roughly $70,000. Dues generate less than 10% of our costs.  Renewing or joining as a "Fish Tier Member" will provide funds to support our mission:

  • World Record Musky: $3,000
  • Keeper Musky: $2,000
  • Musky: $1,500
  • Bass: $350
  • Walleye: $600
  • Bluegill: $125


ALL FISH TIER Member gifts go directly to fund operating expenses.

Become a member and help us live up to this statement by Jacob Macholl, Lake Scientist, “The Spider Chain of Lakes is one of the most beautiful and pristine lakes we have ever seen, especially compared to all the others we have been on in our line of work, and it is due in part to your great efforts to keep it that way.  We are often approached for help after problems appear on the lake. Because of your pro-activity and prevention efforts, many of those problems have been avoided.”
