About the Association
In 1996 several residents organized to protect the natural attributes of Ridges Road. They incorporated The Harbor Ridges Association, Inc. (HRA) as a non-profit corporation in the State of Wisconsin in 1997.

How the association works
Members meet twice a year: an annual meeting early in the season and a social gathering near the end of it. In 2017 the board suspended the collection of annual membership dues until a need for funds is identified again. Donations are accepted.
Email is the primary way the association reaches members. If you live on Ridges Road, Harbor Lane or Schmitz Road and aren’t getting our announcements, please send us your address.
