EVERYONE’S LAKE, EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY.
Our Mission Statement: Promoting ecologically sound projects and practices for the protection of Higgins Lake and the surrounding watershed.
The Higgins Lake Foundation is launching a free well-water testing initiative, in Summer 2026, for residents of Beaver Creek, Gerrish, and Lyon Townships.
Testing your well for harmful contaminants like bacteria and nitrogen is easy:
- Pick up your free kit at the HLF office
- Sample your well water at the closest outlet to the source
- Return the sample to Raven Analytical Labs within 30 hours (Mon.–Thurs., 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.)
- You’ll receive a personal report on your results, helping you make informed decisions about your water
