Tri-Lakes Improvement Board Financial Reports
The Tri-Lakes Improvement Board was established by resolution of the Morton Township Board on January 3, 1989 under Part 309 (Inland Lake Improvements) of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. In accordance with the act, the Tri-Lakes Improvement Board includes a lakefront property owner, a representative from each local unit of government abutting Tri-Lakes, the county drain commissioner (or designee) and a county commissioner.
In 2023, the Lake Mecosta DNR access site had signage installed to inform boaters of the Clean, Drain, Dry, initiative.
This new sign is intended to encourage boaters to inspect their boats and trailers and remove any plant fragments prior to launching into the Tri-Lakes.
