We do our best to ensure there is propane available for grills and/or fire pits, but cannot guarantee there will be propane for use throughout your stay. If all available tanks are empty, we ask that you refill a tank and provide a receipt for reimbursement. Note: be sure to refill/replace the existing tanks - do not purchase a brand new tank.

When drought, weather or other conditions present an unusual fire risk, a burn ban may be imposed by the community without prior notice.

A fishing license is needed by PA for anyone 16 and older. The community also needs an Emerald Lake Fishing License, which can be acquired at the office. Any fish caught must be released back into the lake.
