Greetings from Black Hawk Lake Protection Association
The COVID-19 pandemic has all of us re-evaluating what is truly important in our lives, like sharing the beauty of mother nature, close to home with family and friends. 12,000 years ago a glacier formed Black Hawk Lake. Natures gift to us.
We have a new website! Our new web site is your home for keeping up with all things to do with the efforts of Black Hawk Lake Protective Association (BLHPA).
