Latest News & Announcements
Keep apprised of all the news! LAPOA information is posted on this website, in newsletters, and at the mailboxes. The most current news can be found on our Facebook and Nextdoor pages.
As of September 2020, Nextdoor has 317 Lake Arrowhead members from 213 households. In recent years, Nextdoor changed us from a “Lake Arrowhead only” social site to one that is linked to “Nearby Neighborhood” one of which is Lakes of the North. You can adjust your settings for privacy and to limit what people out of our Lake Arrowhead neighborhood can see.
Lake Arrowhead updates are also posted on Facebook. You will need to open a free Facebook account to join in on the Lake Arrowhead FB page. Unlike Nextdoor, Facebook is open to everyone.

Covid-19 Policy
At the Special Board Meeting held on May 28, 2020, the Board of Directors unanimously agreed that the Association would follow legal requirements and abide by the current Executive Orders, State, and Health Department directives in regards to our Pool and Campground. Although we are a private community, we are licensed by the State of Michigan for our Campground and Pool. Violating the executive orders is unlawful, could elicit fines, endanger our licenses, and we are informed could potentially make void our liability insurance in case of an accident.
About Fireworks
Fireworks can be lots of fun once in a while. They are just tiresome when they are going off night after night, disturbing the peace of a whole community. Please be considerate of your neighbors who may have to get up for work in the morning. All of us need our rest. Although Lake Arrowhead is a private community, we are subject to Federal, State, and local laws. Fireworks are permitted:
-Dec. 31 to 1 a.m. on Jan. 1
-The Saturday and Sunday before Memorial Day until 11:45 p.m.
-June 29 – July 4 until 11:45 p.m.
-Also, July 5 ONLY if that day is a Friday or Saturday, until 11:45 p.m.
-The Saturday and Sunday before Labor Day until 11:45 p.m.
Trash Compactor Project
At a special meeting on September 21, 2019, the LAPOA Board of Directors voted to replace our trash compactor which is beyond repair. For information about the project see: Trash Compactor Project Q&A 10-11-2019 The project was completed despite rain and snow in December 2019. We thank all those who contributed to the project.
History & Original Documents
American Central Corporation was the original developer of the land that has become Lake Arrowhead. A gentleman by the name of Al Lancaster was here from the beginning of LAPOA. Mr. Lancaster served the Association well for many years as president, historian, and in other capacities. Connie Stubli, came into possession of several boxes of documents that had been held by Mr. Lancaster. Connie spent many, many, hours over several months sorting through all the documents. For Connie, this was a labor of love. Her work resulted in eight binders of historic documents that are now organized and kept in the Office Building. Thank you Connie for all your hard work!
LAPOA members may browse through “The Al Lancaster Collection” of documents during regular Office Hours. These binders of original documents are precious to our Association and may not be borrowed or removed from the Office Building. Thank you again Connie! Many generations of our members will appreciate this wonderful gift.
Northern Michigan Snow Totals
Northern Michigan Snow Totals Snow amounts vary greatly. This graph is an average of snowfall measurements around Gaylord and other Northern MI cities. To get Snowfall results from the NWS Passenheim Rd. weather station (closest to Lake Arrowhead) go to: http://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=apx and look for the Gaylord WSO weather station. Then choose Accumulation graphs, adjust the dates, and choose Snowfall as the variable.
