Membership and payment
mandatory
Check the property, not just the neighbourhood.
No individual title, account balance or household access is certified here. A maintenance boundary, nearby amenity or condo fee does not settle those questions.

02 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
Which properties and households participate?
Title-linked obligation
yes
Property coverage
LBHA names Bonavista Downs, condominiums, secondary suites, carriage houses and commercial properties as exclusions. A subdivided lot does not automatically create another membership.
Qualifying owner household
Requires the LBHA title encumbrance and household eligibility. Supply title and corresponding ID.
Renters with annual owner consent
Owner gives up access; renter consent form and matching ID are renewed annually. Maximum two senior renter members, subject to the title-holder count.
Published property exclusions
LBHA explicitly excludes these categories from membership.
Additional household members — conflicting programs
The associate trial lists $100 annually and three places. The Guest-in-Residence page lists 50% of annual fees and two places, excludes extra renter memberships and requires annual residence proof. Confirm the applicable program; neither creates secondary-suite eligibility.

Rules and responsibilities
Guest allowances in the 2025 rulebook
The 2025 document allows ten guests per household per day, with smaller junior-member allowances. Hosts accompany guests throughout. Check the latest rules before arranging a gathering.
Boating conditions in the 2025 rulebook
The document requires lifejackets, member accompaniment and equipment sign-out; gas-powered boats are prohibited. Review the full current conditions and posted restrictions.
Fishing conditions in the 2025 rulebook
The document requires security registration, barbless hooks and designated fishing areas. It lists a two-trout household monthly limit. Confirm the current conservation rules before fishing.
Guest limits on the current rules page
Ten guests per household per day, with lower limits by member class. App pre-registration does not remove the host's obligation to stay in the park. The 2025 document remains a historical reference.
SourcesRules and regulations index
Published fishing limits and seasonal areas
The fishing page allows two fish per household per month excluding Tiger and Brown Trout, requires barbless hooks and prohibits live bait. Report to the guard house before leaving. Follow current seasonal areas and closure notices.
2026 shoreline letter: maintenance and dock approval
The April 28 letter requested needed cleanup by July 28, 2026. It prohibits shoreline changes such as adding sand or removing boulders and requires LBHA approval for dock installations. Obtain the property's outstanding requirements; the letter is not a parcel compliance certificate.
Access-way maintenance is shared by identified owners
The April 28, 2026 letter describes LBHA ownership of access ways and shared maintenance by the adjacent owners identified in its appendix. Confirm the applicable group and work with LBHA. The address list is not a complete HOA membership boundary.
