While we openly advertise the lake access feature, please mind that: - There is no life guard on duty at the lake. - We have no control over the quality of the water at any given time, and the Sherwood Green Association may deem it necessary to limit access to the lake if the testing results require so, without prior notice. - While we do not prohibit ice-fishing in the lake during the winter months, we definitely do not encourage it for safety reasons! Please assess any risks and consider your group's safety before ice-fishing at the lake. Maximum occupancy: Please mind that this house can host a maximum of 10 guests per fire code.
