The Duck Lake Association (DLA) was formed in 2005 when it was believed that curly leaf pondweed was present in the lake. Fortunately, that turned out to be untrue, but it was the catalyst for starting the association. Water monitoring has been done by Duck Lake volunteers since 1996 as part of the Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP).
