Lake
Our property provides you with a unique opportunity to swim, fish, enjoy the dock, and use the kayak, paddle board and foam lily pad (dock and lake toys are winterized in early fall and are therefore available seasonally). We want you to take advantage of these amenities and have a memorable visit.

By booking this property you acknowledge that you understand that swimming and use of the lake is at your own risk and that special risks may be involved. You understand there are potential dangers of a lake to children who are not carefully supervised, as well as danger to any person with health risks, intoxicated or using any kind of drugs or medication, or while pregnant.
​
You acknowledge that some risks are inherent in kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding, and use of a lily pad even in still water; other risks are posed by the forces of the currents, swells, and wake in the lake. All water activities are dangerous activities. Guests’ use of the kayak, paddle board and lily pad is purely voluntary, and in spite of the risks.
​
The area around the dock is shallow and therefore diving or jumping from the dock or lily pad is extremely dangerous, can cause injury or death and are strictly prohibited.
​
All guests are strongly requested to wear a properly sized and fastened personal floatation device at all times while in the water.
The kayak has a maximum weight allowance of 250lb.

You and all registered guests in your party understand the risks discussed above and agree that you will assume all responsibility for yourself and for the consequences of those in your party, and hold the property owner harmless.
The kayak and paddle board should be returned safely to the dock rack after each use and strap should be secured.
