There are probably a million Deer Lakes in this country. We are located in the State of Washington, about 30 miles North of Spokane, Washington on US 395. (See Maps). Our lake is a litle over a mile in diameter, and somewhat shaped like a frying pan, with the handle being the inlet for the lake. There are about 800 houses on this lake, with about half of those homeowners being members of DLPOA.

If you would like to join DLPOA ($20/year) please contact one of the officers of the organization.  You will get the newsletter, and a vote in the elections.  Maybe you can even serve some time on the Board of Directors!

Coming Events!

New Stuff On this site

For board notes for the most recent meetings (see Boardnotes).
Note that the board CHANGED the prior policy of not publishing the board notes until after the next meeting. We are now publishing them right after the meetings, with the provisio that these are not the Official board notes until they get blessed at the following meeting.

The 2008 4th of July parade pictures are here.
I have pictures from 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 boat parades also, and would be happy to send you a hi def version of any of these pictures by email. I did not take pictures of the 2009 parade.

The Beige Pages now has a page on Wireless Broadband providers for this lake

We have started a page listing the various associations on the lake. Please send any information about your bay or homeowners association to the web guy.

Board Meetings

Board meetings are the Second Thursday of most months except the summer ones and winter ones....  Everybody is welcome to come.  Generally there are cookies.  As of March 2008, meetings start at 6PM!!! As of March 2010, the meetings are back at the Salvation Army Dining Hall.

See above for when the next board meetings will be.

Click here for a list of the current Officers and Committees of Dlpoa. We now have the Board Meeting notes online, in addition to the past newsletters.  Please go to the Newsletters page for more information.

I am trying to get a complete archive of the old newsletters.  I now have most of the newsletters in the past archives .  If you have old Deer Lake photos, remberances, oral histories, whatever, I would like to add them to our site.  Please contact me and I can scan in whatever you have.

The plan for this site is to have sections on Dlpoa Information, maps, weather, local media, contributed pictures of the lake area, and a classified section that will let us know just where to find somebody to fix our faucets or build us a shed.
