In 1994, a group of concerned citizens got together to look for ways to improve the quality and usability of Snyder's Lake. At that time, milfoil, an invasive underwater plant, was a growing rampant in the lake, which interfered with recreational activities such as swimming, fishing and boating. Controlling the milfoil issue was essential to the future viability of the lake. Consequently, the Snyder’s Lake Association was formed to identify and implement safe and effective solutions to the milfoil problem.
Today, the Lake Association is in a rebuilding phase. Our goal now is to grow the financial resources and volunteer base to address the new issues facing our lake environment and community. To demonstrate your support, click below to join or renew your membership today!
The Social Side
From community dinners to community-wide garage sales, the Lake Association sponsors a wide variety of social activities and volunteer events. If you thought the lake was beautiful from the ground, then wait until you see it from the air.

Environmental Awareness
The Lake Association is also an advocate of environmental awareness.
Dozens of volunteers from the Snyder’s Lake community joined forces with the Lake Association, Albany Aquanauts and Town of North Greenbush officials to participate in the 2nd Annual Lake Bottom Clean-up. Divers and clean-up crews spent hours lifting and hauling heavy debris from the below the water’s surface. The event was a huge success and hopefully will inspire more people to take responsibility and respect the natural resource we have. Thanks Bob Shenise of Shenise Productions LLC for putting together this incredible footage of our beautiful lake (including amazing aerial and underwater footage) and the community’s efforts to preserve it.
