2026 NYSFOLA Annual Conference
May 8-9, 2026 Fort William Henry Hotel and Conference Center, Lake George, NY
Shared Lakes: Shared Responsibilities
We’re hosting our 44th annual conference at the Fort William Henry Hotel and Conference Center in Lake George on May 8-9, 2026.
This year’s conference is focused on the roles that lake associations, government, and lake scientists play in lake management and preservation.
We have a great group of presenters this year. There is also plenty of time for networking with your fellow lake stewards, a silent auction, the popular Wine and Cheese Party, and more!
Registration form is available HERE.
(Note: Meal Tickets or Walk-In Registrations will NOT be available at the conference.)
There are still spaces available for exhibitors as well! See both vendor and non-profit packages on the registration form!
Conference Program
We’re excited about the great series of speakers we have this year that will share their wealth of research and experiences in a wide array of lake related topics.

Accepting Nominations for 2026 Lake Steward Awards!
Has someone gone above and beyond the call of duty for your lake association?
Nominate them for a 2026 Lake Steward Award!
Each year, NYSFOLA pays tribute to outstanding individuals who dedicate their time and energy to benefit their lake association. You know who they are. They’re the people who attend nearly every meeting and serve on multiple committees. They find grant money and spend decades serving as CSLAP volunteers. They are the people that are so hard to replace, and your association doesn’t know what will happen when they retire from service. Let them know how much they’re appreciated!
