Part of the policy is that the “watercraft” (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards) that are used on the lake are dedicated to the use on this lake only. We have two kayaks that are dedicated to this lake. No outside kayaks are permitted to be brought and used on this lake. Thank you so much for your understanding. Guest access Entire house and backyard
