Lake Bonavista membership depends on the LBHA encumbrance and eligible household status. The neighbourhood name alone is insufficient. Compare the published exclusion list with the specific title before assuming a condominium, suite or nearby property receives lake privileges.

  • Boating conditions in the 2025 rulebook

    Historical

    Sources: 2025 facility rules; Rules and regulations index

  • Fishing conditions in the 2025 rulebook

    Historical

    The document requires security registration, barbless hooks and designated fishing areas. It lists a two-trout household monthly limit. Confirm the current conservation rules before fishing.

    Sources: 2025 facility rules; Rules and regulations index

  • Guest limits on the current rules page

    Association-published

    Ten guests per household per day, with lower limits by member class. App pre-registration does not remove the host's obligation to stay in the park. The 2025 document remains a historical reference.

  • Published fishing limits and seasonal areas

    Association-published

    The fishing page allows two fish per household per month excluding Tiger and Brown Trout, requires barbless hooks and prohibits live bait. Report to the guard house before leaving. Follow current seasonal areas and closure notices.
