Keep Gate LockedSecurity The lock combination is available to paid members only. Please keep the lock combination confidential. Do not come to the lake without knowledge of the combination. Please refrain from disclosing the lock combination to anyone except licensed drivers in your immediate family. It is your responsibility to keep this access code secret. It is one of the few steps we can take to protect our community property, and requires everyone’s cooperation to make it work. Only board members may give out the combination. Please roll the lock combination to a random setting upon opening. Please always close and lock the gate immediately after you enter or leave the park.

Guest Policy The park is for members and their accompanied guests. Guests who are temporarily visiting LFA members (house guests) may also have access to the park. A note signed by the LFA member identifying the guests and duration of the visit should be presented to LFA staff or an LFA board member. All other guests must be accompanied by an LFA member. Please contact the Park Manager beforehand if you wish to bring 10 or more guests, or if you wish to reserve the picnic area.
