Neighborhood Watch

PLEASE report any and all incidences of vandalism and "pranks" to the police. The telephone number for the non-emergency dispatch is 810-667-0292.

When parking your boat trailer, please park it perpendicular to the fence.

Rules For Barnes Lake Park Lots

The park lots are for the use by non-riparian property owners located in the Deerfield Park, Deerfield Park 1 and Deerfield Park 2 subdivisions around the Barnes Lake area. The park lots are controlled by the Barnes Lake Club. Anything being done on these lots must be cleared by the Barnes Lake Club first.
If a Civil dispute occurs regarding anything to do with the park lots, the Barnes Lake Club will not intervene. The Lapeer County Sheriff Dept. will be called to handle the dispute. So please try to get along with all your neighbors.

You may install a dock at a park lot at your own cost and after approval by the Barnes Lake Club. You will either need to call a director of the Barnes Lake Club or come to a Meeting which is held at the Beach Pavilion the second Wed of the month April to November. If you install a dock you may not keep anyone who is a property owner in the subdivisions off the dock.
After the dock is installed other property owners may use it to dock a boat. It is on a first come first serve basis. It is a gentleman agreement that the person who installs the dock should have a space at the dock.
The dock must be installed properly and not obstruct any neighboring property owners property.
It is up to you the installer and anyone else using the lot to maintain the dock. The Barnes Lake Club will not maintain the docks.
If a dock is left unused and falls into disrepair, it will be removed and scrapped without any notice.
You may not launch any type of boat from a park lot unless it can be carried by hand.
You may not store any boats, trailers, or any other personal items on any park lot.
The Barnes Lake Club does not have the funds to mow the grass at all of the park lots, so if you are using it and want the grass cut then it’s up to you to volunteer and cut it.
Please make sure you pick up all trash on park lots.
You may drive a golf cart or ATV onto the park lot to access your boat. You may not drive any vehicle such as a car, truck, or van onto the park lots. If you drive your car or truck or van to a park lot you must park it parallel to the road and do not obstruct any neighboring property owner.
You may not alter the park lot in any way without approval from the Barnes Lake Club.
Only one watercraft per property owner may be docked at a park lot.
No Bonfires or BBQ pits on park lots.

Thank you, The Barnes Lake Club

Worth Noting...

The beach, parking lot and boat launch areas are jointly owned by all property owners in the Barnes Lake subdivisions. The pavilion, benches, picnic tables, well, port-a-john and swings have been provided by Barnes Lake Club for the use of all property owners. These amenities make using the beach area more convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone visiting there.
It is in the best interest of all property owners to be aware of what is going on at the beach and boat launch areas. This is PRIVATE PROPERTY available to ONLY the property owners of the Barnes Lake subdivisions and their guests. Property owners are responsible for the behavior and actions of their guests. Beach cards have been provided to all property owners. If you invite a guest to use the beach area you are expected to be with them or provide YOUR beach card to them. Anyone who is not a property owner and cannot show a beach card will be asked to leave the premises.
If you see any vandalism or know there are trespassers, call the Sheriff's Department: 810-667-0292 is the non-emergency number for Central Dispatch. Try to get the license #'s of vehicles and/or registration #'s of any watercraft in the area.
