2024 Watercraft Docking at Lake Burgess:
On Saturday April 24, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Pavilion you can apply to dock your watercraft for the 2024 season on a first come; first served basis by completing the SVPORC Watercraft Registration & Docking Application Form. Per Policy 810.3A members wanting to dock their watercraft at Burgess Lake will need to pay the annual fee of $50, limit one watercraft per Member property. The required $50 annual docking fee must be paid at this time by check or cash. No credit cards will be accepted. All annual dues, and fines must be current. A sticker will identify your watercraft is approved to dock your watercraft for the 2024 season. The Owner is required to secure their watercraft stored at the shore to the metal cable at the slot. Docking your watercraft is at your own risk, as SVPORC is not responsible for damage or theft. At the end of the season all watercrafts will need to be removed from the beach before November 15, 2024.
Watercraft Registration:
All watercrafts need to be registered at no cost to the owner in order to use a watercraft on the lake. The watercraft must be removed from the area at the end of each day if you have not applied and paid for a docking slot (see above). Watercraft left overnight will be considered abandoned, which could result in the watercraft, and any oars etc. being confiscated or the owner could receive compounding fees, and the watercraft not being released until the fees are paid. Contact Ken Richardson at 303-532-6069 to register a boat.
Fish Patrol:
You can fish the annual Fishing Season for free. All you need to do is volunteer for fish patrol. You can choose one day a week or be a substitute when regular patrol is unavailable. It’s a great way to get outdoors and meet your neighbors. If you are interested, contact Ken Richardson at 303-532-6069.
Pelican Patrol:
The HOA has an RC Hydroplane Boat that is used to haze the Pelicans so they do not get comfortable on the Lakes as they can consume around 9 pounds of fish a day per bird. This activity was approved with the USDA Wildlife Service that oversees the Migratory Bird Act. If anyone is interested in helping operate the boat (sorry, no kids), please contact us at email info@myspringvalley.org for more information.
