Important rules

  • Unpaid fees can mean no park access

    Association-published

    Park access may be denied if the annual fee is unpaid. The fee remains mandatory regardless of whether the facilities are used.

    Source: HOA Fee Information

  • Membership cards are non-transferable

    Association-published

    Membership cards issued by the association are non-transferable.

    Source: Membership

  • Guests stay with their host

    Association-published

    The daily limit is 10 guests per household, including infants, hosted by a member aged 16+. Younger cardholders have a smaller allowance; confirm the age-16 overlap in published wording. Hosts must stay.

    Source: Membership and facility FAQ

  • Register the household before using the lake

    Association-published

    Transferring access requires owner authorization; the office verifies residency. Adult children, boarders and nannies aged 21+ need consent and ID. Children can receive cards from age 12 with parental consent.

    Source: Membership

  • Confirm replacement-card charges

    Association-published

    Membership page lists $5 for lost or damaged cards. Rules provide free replacement after two years and an unspecified earlier replacement fee. Confirm the applicable charge.

    Sources: Membership; Lake and guest rules

  • Supervision and seasonal closures

    Association-published

    No lifeguards. Children under 12 need supervision by someone at least 16. Obey Thin Ice closures.

    Source: Lake and guest rules

  • Boat and paddleboard conditions differ

    Association-published

    Boat checkout requires a member aged 16+ who stays aboard. SUP companion exceptions have separate age/waiver conditions. Recreational motors, including electric trolling motors, are prohibited.

    Source: Lake and guest rules

  • Check species and household limits

    Association-published

    Rainbow trout: three daily and 15 monthly per household, including guest catches. Brown, brook and tiger trout are catch-and-release. Review tackle and reporting rules before fishing.

    Source: Lake and guest rules

  • Published suspension procedure dates to 2010

    Historical

    The linked policy allows authorized management to suspend privileges and hold hosts responsible for guest conduct. Reinstatement after conduct suspensions requires a management meeting. Confirm current policy and any amendments.

    Source: Suspension policy — adopted June 17, 2010 (Historical)

  • Give the lawyer time to request the account information

    Association-published

    MLRA's linked lawyer request form allows up to two business days for a response. It asks for the legal description, civic address, owner and purchaser details, and possession date. The reviewed first step does not establish a request price; confirm any charge separately.

Where it applies

Boundary and coverage

Operational coverage

Entitlement is determined by the association boundary, not by the community name. A McKenzie-area address does not by itself prove membership or access — confirm on title or with the association.

Registered on title

Title and legal instruments

  • encumbrance

    The annual fee is mandatory for properties with a registered encumbrance, regardless of facility use.

What to verify

Buyer and seller checklists

Related research guides

Buyer checklist

  1. 01Confirm the address is inside the association boundary — the community name alone does not prove entitlement.
  2. 02Order a current title and check for the registered encumbrance.
  3. 03Confirm which fee class applies (General, Lake Access, Lake Shore or Statesman Villas).
  4. 04Request a statement of account; unpaid fees can mean access is denied.
  5. 05If access-way use is advertised, obtain Schedule E and Schedule I instruments and the parcel-specific eligibility confirmation.
  6. 06Have the lawyer request current account information early; MLRA asks for up to two business days to respond. Confirm the property's fee class, balance and any request charge.

Seller checklist

  1. 01Obtain a statement of account from the association before conditions are removed.
  2. 02Clear arrears; note the fee is owed whether or not the facilities were used.
  3. 03Confirm which fee class your property is assessed at and disclose it accurately.
  4. 04Remember membership cards are non-transferable — do not promise them to a buyer.
