Rathbun Lake Protectors Program: Everyone can help protect Rathbun Lake! Landowners, homeowners, and business owners in the lake's watershed, visitors to the lake, and rural water users can all do something to keep Rathbun Lake clean. The Rathbun Land and Water Alliance and its partners have created the Rathbun Lake Protectors Program to encourage and recognize actions by individuals to protect Rathbun Lake.
