 A few reminders to keep everyone safe:

• Glass bottles are no longer permitted in the picnic area and of course, not allowed on the beach or in the water. [Too many people walk barefoot to the snack stand and bathrooms and there were a few incidents of broken glass that could have been avoided.]
• Anyone under 14 years old must pass the swim test to swim outside the roped area.
• If your child needs a personal flotation device, they may not be outside the roped area. Personal flotation devices must be US Coast Guard approved.
• No nets are permitted on the dock.
• No flips on the dock or from the dock into the water.
• No inflatable toys are permitted in the lake. Lifeguards cannot monitor around the inflatables.
• Must be at least 14 years old to use a paddle boat without an adult but do require a signature from the parent covering the rules and expectations of safe use of the paddle boat.
• Please do not argue with the Lifeguards, their top priority is safety. Failure to obey the Lifeguards instructions may result in removal from the beach and/or Club property.
• Help us take care of our Club. Use the dumpsters for large trash items, do not place them on top of trash cans or against the fence. You are responsible for cleaning up your own trash.
• If you have more than 14 people in your party, you must rent an available space. The picnic area is intended for small groups only. Please plan ahead. Call the office for more information.
• On behalf of the Lake Staff and the SCSC Board of Directors, please be safe and enjoy your time at the Lake this summer!

Be sure to also review the posted Lake Rules as you come up onto the beach. 

Non-powered watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats are allowed on the lake.

Outboards / inboards are prohibited on the lake no matter if the propeller is submerged or not. We are very careful to ensure petroleum products do not enter our lake to protect the fish and other wildlife that benefit from our lake as well as to preserve its use for our members during the summer. When boating on the lake, everyone is required to wear life jackets. There are no exceptions.
