The Dock | The Cove | Boating

The dock is one of the nicest amenities of our the community and is one of our biggest expenses. Our residents are very fortunate to have a quiet cove and dock for boat launching and swimming on Army Corps of Engineers land.

Thanks goes to one of our community property owners and his committee for keeping the dock safe, clean, maintained and in compliance. Repairs are constant and require parts and labor.

Donations make it possible to keep the dock in compliance with the Army Corps of Engineers and safe for use by our property owners. Use of the private Canyons boat dock is limited to residents only.

Remember to follow these guidelines when using the boat dock and the cove:

• RESIDENTS ONLY!
• DO NOT PARK ON OR NEAR THE BOAT RAMP, OR IN THE LANE OF BOAT TOWING
• NO TRASH- PACK IT IN/PACK IT OUT
• NO CAMPING
• NO FIRES
• NO FIREWORKS
• NO FISH CLEANING
• NO OVERNIGHT BOAT PARKING AT DOCK
• SWIMMERS KEEP AWAY FROM BOAT TRAFFIC. IT’S A BOAT DOCK!
