Lake Murray Association

Lake Murray Association, Inc (LMA)

Founded in 1994, the Lake Murray Association, Inc. (LMA) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving as “The Voice of Lake Murray.” As a primary community stakeholder, we advocate for everyone who lives on, works near, or enjoys this vital natural resource.
Our mission focuses on three core pillars: 
    • Preserving the environment and integrity of the lake.
    • Protecting water quality and surrounding habitats.
    • Advocating for the safety of all lake users.

Support Our Mission
LMA is entirely community-funded. 100% of our membership dues are tax-deductible donations. Every dollar directly funds the essential supplies, educational materials, website, PO Box, printing, insurance, meeting spaces, and professional memberships (NALMS and Chamber) required to fulfill the mission to protect and maintain Lake Murray.
EIN: 57-1006324

The Department of Natural Resources and the Lexington County Marine Division approached the Lake Murray Association in 1998 asking for our assistance in the identification process for each dock with the street address clearly marked. The purpose would be efficient response time in emergency calls both for the homeowner and the boater in need of immediate assistance.

In order to maintain uniformity, and with the approval of these governing agencies, the LMA designed an aluminum sign that is approximately 5” high, the length being determined by the street address. This standardized sign is reflective for visibility at night when response can be critical.
