Lake Delhi Recreation Association
Lake Delhi was created in the 1920’s by the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Maquoketa River. Since that time the Lake Delhi area has grown to be the weekend retreat or home to over 900 residents. The Lake Delhi Recreation Association was formed in 1973. Since 1973, the LDRA has played an active role in Lake Delhi supporting recreation areas such as Lost Beach, North Beach, water quality efforts, dredging, sponsored fish stocking, and represented the lake residents’ interests whenever needed.
Since 1989, Lake Delhi property owners pay a property assessment in the Benefited Lake Taxing District to provide funds for the annual maintenance of the Lake Delhi Dam and Dredging. These funds, along with, donations and grants have been used to repair the dam and dredge Lake Delhi. The benefited tax district funds are administered by the tax district trustees.
In 1973 the Lake Delhi Recreation Association, Inc was formed and purchased the hydroelectric dam that existed at that time. When the association determined that donations alone would not be enough to run the organization and operate the dam, they began to sell memberships. The one time $100 membership to the LDRA is still in place today. We ask that lake residents join the LDRA to support the operations of the dam, water quality, repayment of dredge loans and continued operations and communications of the organization.
Please consider joining the LDRA today if you are not a member. This membership entitles you to a vote at the LDRA annual meeting, communications from the LDRA and the ability to support a place that we all love. Please print out a copy of our membership application and return with your $100 today.
