Glen Echo Lake is a freshwater lake located in Charlton, Massachusetts. It is 116 acres and primarily used by its residents for fishing, swimming and water skiing. The Glen Echo Improvement Association (GEIA) was founded in 1972 as a non-profit organization. It is made up entirely of volunteers, was founded to promote good fellowship among its members; to promote the civic welfare of Glen Echo Lake Community; to establish and maintain improvements in and about the community; to improve the ecology of Glen Echo Lake; and to preserve the rights and privileges of residents. It is also their goal to educate lake residents, and provide a social forum for members to express concerns and to share information. Monthly meetings, held during the summer, determine our direction by providing an opportunity for everyone living on Glen Echo to discuss any topic regarding the lake. You need not be a member of the association to address the group. You do need to be a member of the Association to vote. Check out the Association webiste, it's one of the best in the area.
