White Lake Association (WLA) Smart Buoy

Observational buoy on White Lake

Sunday, May 10th, 2026

The White Lake Association (WLA) is comprised of hundreds of area residents who care deeply about White Lake. Our members support WLA activities and actions that preserve the natural amenities of the lake, as well as the public trust. The Smart Buoy is the latest addition to WLA's water quality monitoring capabilities, and was funded by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Watershed Council Grant Program.

The WLA Smart Buoy was re-deployed on May 9, with its position shifted slightly North to deconflict with boat traffic aligned with the Dowie and Long Point Nav buoys. Chlorophyll, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, and Conductivity sensors will be online soon.
