It's That Time Again!

Bear

Our bears are generally shy but can be aggessive if startled. They do wake up hungry, so exercise caution, especially in the dumpster area this spring.

Pike Bounty

Get Paid To Fish!

Pike

We will, as in years past, be continuing our "GET PAID TO FISH" program! A twenty dollar bounty will be paid for each pike removed from our lake. If caught while our office is closed please remember to wrap in plastic, and freeze, until you are able to bring by and collect your bounty. Leaving outside in a bucket will draw bears. Fresh or frozen the reward is still $20.


If you're wondering why pike? According to CPW, northern pike are a predatory species that can be harmful to trout fisheries. CPW is also concerned that if northern pike reached a critical habitat along the Colorado River, they would prey on the state's endangered native fishes.

Fire Pit And Protocol 

We all know how a calm afternoon can turn suddenly, bringing with it high winds from every direction.

It's fast approaching that time of year. We need utmost compliance with fire regulations. Just one spark can lead to disaster. Remember these regulations have been put into place for your safety and the safety of your personal property.

Please be advised: 

  • No Fireworks, sparklers, tiki torches, or open flames.
  • No slash or building material to be piled or barrel burned.
  • CLCC has the right to enforce fire bands apart from town or county.
  • Fire pits must be within the approved regulations. See the link below for specifics on your fire pit.
  • Be sure to have direct access to water in order to extinguish it completely, and never leave a fire unattended.
  • Please be sure to make your friends, family, and renters aware of these regulations!

Remember to Leash Up Your Pup


All animals are required to be on a physical leash or controlled by an electronic leash at all times within CLCC. This includes all roads, community property and private property other than belonging to the animal owner. The only exception to this is while dogs swim in the lake, provided the animal is under immediate control by it's owner. We all think we know our pets, but remember, an uncontrolled animal that does physical harm to another person or pet is always held responsible.

Be sure to make all your guests aware of this policy.

Be Informed,

Be Alert!


Please register with the link below. Code Red is a service provided by the county to keep you informed in the event of an emergency.

Road Work To Begin In June


Our community roads will be bladed, as they are annually, due to the winter wear and tear. No exact date has been set but you will be alerted by an email when we know. Please remember to have all vehicles and other obstacles clear of the roads while work is in progress. Work will be completed by June 28th, as we are set for our magnesium chloride application to help stabilize the base and control dust. As always, use caution while driving on the roads while work is being completed.

Thank You !
