Sleeper Island Association

Introduction
Sleeper Island Association is a voluntary, non-profit Corporation, formed in 1975 by a group of shorefront lot owners on Sleeper Island in Lake Winnipesaukee in West Alton, NH. It's purpose is to preserve the center of the Island of approximately 60 acres (which was purchased in 1980) in its natural state (with the possible exception of septic easements in the perimeter), to provide fire protection on the Island as a supplement to the Town's service, and to provide social activities for its members. Currently, there is a walking trail of approximately 2 miles around the center of the island for exercise and for access in the event of fire. In addition, the Association owns 3 fire pumps located at shorefront lots and fire-fighting equipment at 4 locations along the trail.
