- 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.

Therefore, any infants included in the booking above maximum occupancy of 10 would unfortunately result in the reservation being cancelled.
