The Club owns two properties at Spring Lake:
675 Lakeshore Drive is an empty lot with a locked gate through which members only have access by signing out a key from the Property Chairperson, Peter Mapplebeck, 963-6047. This access allows drive-through access from the road to the club shelter, pier and boat storage area. Boats are stored at Members’ own risk.
670 Lakeshore Drive is open with a grassy area adjacent to the road where members may camp. From this there are steps leading down to the club’s shelter, swings and washrooms.
Members using the property are asked to abide by the Club Property Rules as follows:
