Is fishing permitted on The Moorings Lake?
Fishing is limited to residents of The Moorings and their guests. Residents cannot give permission to anyone else to fish these waters.
- The Moorings’ lake is a catch-and-release area unless removing fish is authorized and publicized by the Board (There may become a time when we want to harvest some of the fish – a common practice to keep the lake’s eco system balanced.)
- All fish and other aquatic life must be returned to the pond. Barbless hooks are recommended to reduce injury to fish.
- No additional fish species or plants can be added to the pond. To maintain an appropriate and healthy aquatic balance, any vegetation modifications or stocking programs will be done by the Board in conjunction with expert advice.
Is smoking or alcohol allowed at the pool?

Alcohol is allowed, however, glass containers or bottles are prohibited in the pool or tennis area. Smoking is prohibited inside any fenced area surround the pool and tennis courts including the deck overlooking the lake. Find more information about our pool rules under Swimming Pool.
Is swimming allowed in The Moorings Lake?

Any bodily contact with water is strictly prohibited. Water contact sports such as wading, diving, windsurfing, sailboarding and radio-controlled boats are prohibited. Belly boats, single-chambered floatation devices, including inflatable rafts, inner-tubes, inflatable mattresses and other inflatable water toys are also prohibited.
Is the lake available for boating and fishing for all residents?

Yes, all member residents in good standing may use the lake. Access to the lake is immediately behind the pool deck area via the common area owned by the neighborhood. Residents may NOT leave boats or any other private property unattended at the common areas. If you wish to leave a boat close to the lake, it’s suggested you check with a neighbor who has a lake-access home and would be willing to let you secure your boat at their dock or waterfront.
Under what circumstances do I have to submit an architectural request form?

Any improvement or upgrade work to the exterior of the home or landscape requires the submission of an Architectural Request Form. This includes but is not limited to: any structure or ancillary building, gazebos or ramadas, play sets, all fencing, decks, patios, stone walls and other “hard landscaping”. The purpose of the Architectural review is to ensure that our Neighborhood continues to have an inviting and consistent look and feel for our immediate neighbors as well as for all other residents and visitors. If you’re not sure if you should submit the Architectural Review form, please Contact Us.
What types of watercrafts are allowed on The Moorings Lake?

Gas and diesel motorized watercraft are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Non-motorized watercraft (kayaks, paddle boats, row boats, canoes, etc.) and small electric-powered fishing watercraft can be used in the lake. Watercraft must be properly secured when not in use. Homeowners are requested to keep smaller craft (e.g. kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, etc.) secured tightly above the high-water mark of the pond during the winter season.

Who can replace mailboxes, and what are the requirements?

The HOA does not have anyone on contract or retainer to perform this function. You may use any contractor you choose, or go the ‘Do It Yourself’ route.

Most residents use the “plain brown” Rustoleum spray paint.
