    $329.70 including GST, as published.

Due date
January 1, 2026
Late interest
New-member PDF states 1.5% monthly after January 31; annual-fee page describes 18% annually, compounded monthly with daily additions. Ask MLRA for the account calculation and applicable start date.
Processing fees
Conflicting official references: annual-fee page says $5 per credit-card invoice; new-member PDF says 1.6% in-office and 2% online. Confirm before payment. Cash is not accepted; returned cheques carry a $25 charge on the fee page.
Transfer / setup charges
Research required

Payment is mandatory even without lake use. Non-delivery of an invoice does not remove the payment obligation. No future dollar amount is inferred from the board's inflation outlook.

Important rules

  • Confirm the category for a member aged exactly twelve

    Research required

    Published guest categories describe juniors as over twelve and children as below twelve. The wording does not explicitly assign age twelve to either category. Obtain the office's registration and guest allowance decision before planning a visit.

    Source: Member categories and guest limits

  • Ten guests per household per day

    Association-published

    Designated and senior members may host up to ten, within the household daily limit. Junior members may host three; children cannot host guests. Hosts stay with guests. Larger groups require at least 72 hours' notice.

    Source: Member categories and guest limits

  • Older form description conflicts with current limit

    Association-published

    The document index's 2013 group-booking description refers to more than fifteen guests. The current guest rule and homepage use ten. Follow the current rule and confirm approval before inviting a larger group.

  • Private boats allowed with conditions

    Association-published

    Gas motors are prohibited. Battery-powered boats require sealed marine batteries. Boats may be inspected and must be brought to the launch at least 30 minutes before closing; owners secure their equipment.

    Source: Private boat rules

  • Check the temporary fishing restriction

    Association-published

    The fishing page retains a general three-trout line alongside a temporary one-rainbow-trout daily restriction. The FAQ also states one rainbow trout over 12 inches daily, with twelve monthly per household. Confirm the current restriction before keeping fish.

  • Private paid lessons require association coordination

    Association-published

    Members cannot use the park for personally profitable events or lessons. Instruction is coordinated through the office; lakefront access does not override closing hours.

    Source: Facility access rules

  • Moving within Midnapore requires new registration

    Association-published

    The FAQ says fee payment does not transfer between properties. Old cards become invalid when moving to another home; register against the new property. Replacement cards are listed at $5.

Where it applies

Boundary and coverage

Operational coverage

Eligibility requires a title encumbrance. The neighbourhood name or an address text match does not establish membership; confirm the specific property with MLRA.

Common misconception

Limits of the association’s role
