The Tainter/Menomin Lake Improvement Association is actively engaged in activities to promote Tainter Lake and Lake Menomin, along with those bodies of water which are immediate to the lake, namely the Red Cedar River and the Hay River. As you scroll through these pages you may learn of the various activities which you may participate in, what is being done to monitor and improve our water quality, and what you may do to help the Lake Association to reach their goals. Membership in the Tainter/Menomin Lake Association is renewable each year. It is beneficial to become a member of the association. Among the goals of the association is a major one of improving the water quality of the lake for future generations.  In addition to this website, the Association now has a blog for member interaction at this site.  

The Hydro Project has been completed with the lake reaching the normal high water mark on December 13, 2005.   With the addition of the new Obermeyer Gates on the Cedar Fall Dam we will no longer experience the lowering of the lake during the spring thaw nor during major rain falls during the year in which debris striking the wooden boards would knock them out causing a drop in lake levels.  With this new system the lake will be maintained to less than one foot in variation of lake levels.
