Association-publishedBoat and paddleboard use requires a member aged 16+ aboard. Gas motors are prohibited except for the safety boat; electric trolling motors have a 30 lb thrust limit. Check the full equipment and lifejacket requirements before launching.
Swimming areas and distance swimming
Association-publishedFlotation toys stay within the swim area; boats and paddleboards stay outside it. Distance swimmers use a bright swim buoy and log departure and safe return with the office. Follow current closure notices.

What to verify
Buyer and seller checklists

Buyer checklist
- 01Match the title and invoice to the correct single-lot, double-lot, access or lakeside class.
- 02Obtain both annual invoices and confirm the combined balance.
- 03Budget for the new-owner setup charge and arrange membership registration.
- 04For a rental purchase, explain whether the owner will also live in the home when confirming tenant eligibility.
- 05Verify any direct-access path or dock right separately.
- 06Obtain property-specific architectural documents; lake operating rules do not settle exterior renovation permissions.
Seller checklist

- 02Disclose registered tenants and any transferred access.
- 03Provide documents supporting the invoiced property class and any private dock access.
- 04Ask the office what ownership-change paperwork the buyer will need.
