Mission
To promote the care, improvement and general welfare of the Briggs Lake Chain and adjoining and connecting waterways.
The Briggs Lake Chain of lakes includes Briggs, Julia, Rush and Big Elk lakes near Clear Lake in Sherburne County, Minnesota.
The Three Lake Lake Improvement District (TLID) is a local government unit for the upper three lakes, and is therefore a more formal organization. Its charge is to manage aquatic invasive species and other projects.
