Welcome to the Leesville Lake Association!
We help keep the 17-mile long Leesville Lake, with its 100-miles of wooded shoreline, beautiful, safe for water sports, healthy for fish and other habitat, and a tranquil haven for residents and visitors alike. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of 250-plus people and agencies dedicated to this Blue Jewel near the Blue Ridge Mountains. We welcome you to join us to help achieve these goals.
