IMPORTANT INFO: POISON PLANTS

Poison ivy usually has three broad, spoon-shaped leaves or leaflets ("Leaves of three? Let it be!"), but it can have more. lt may grow as a climbing or low, spreading vine that sprawls through grass (more common in the eastern United States) or as a shrub (more common in the northern United States, Canada, and the Great Lakes region).

Poison oak has leaves that look like oak leaves, usually with three leaflets but sometimes up to seven leaflets per leaf group. lt grows as a vine or a shrub. Poison oak is more common in the western United States, but it is also found in the eastern United States and, rarely, in the Midwest.

Poison sumac has 7 to 13 leaflets per leaf stem. The leaves have smooth edges and pointed tips. Poison sumac grows as a shrub or small tree. lt is found in wooded, swampy areas, such as Florida and parts of other southeastern states, and in wet, wooded areas in the northern United States.

Contractor Comment Binder

We have established a Contractor Comment Binder in the Lake office, which allows property owners the opportunity to place comments (good or bad) regarding the quality of the contractors they have used. This should be valuable for all property owners to review when contracting work on their property.

Reminder to Property Owners About Guests

Property owners please remember that your guests are not allowed to use Lake Mohawk facilities without yourself or a responsible member of your immediate family with them the entire time they are here.

Members are reminded that if their guests show up without the proper guest card or without being called in, they will not be admitted to the Lake.   Also, it is not our responsibility to, nor will we, provide such guest with your phone number.

Remember, that the guards will not call your home for your guests.  Their job is to try and make sure unauthorized persons do not enter the Lake; it is not to make arrangements for you or your guests.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Observe the 25 MPH Speed Limit

For the safety of everyone, please observe the 25 MPH speed limit and remind your guests of our speed limit.
