Access to Sandy Beach

We are work­ing hard with Parks and Rec to ensure res­i­dents only are access­ing the beach and boat ramp. We are work­ing on sig­nage and pos­si­bly revis­ing how sea­son and trail­er pass­es are sold. Some changes may seem incon­ve­nient for res­i­dents but things like requir­ing a license to pur­chase pass­es and walk­ers check­ing in at the tent will be very help­ful so please come to the beach prepared.

We real­ize there con­tin­ues to be sig­nif­i­cant safe­ty issues after 5 PM, espe­cial­ly with jet skis.

If you observe unsafe behav­ior or vio­la­tions (I.e. no exhaust on a jet ski, pulling a tuber or ski­er on a jet ski, etc), avoid con­fronta­tion and please call the HPD Dis­patch and/or Envi­ron­men­tal Police. If you can safe­ly doc­u­ment the unsafe behavior/violation, reg­is­tra­tion and/or trail­er num­bers that is helpful.

HPD dis­patch line 1–508-497‑3401

Envi­ron­men­tal Police — to report a vio­la­tion in progress: 1–800-632‑8075

We great­ly appre­ci­ate our lake community’s efforts to mod­el safe, law­ful boat­ing! Keep it up!
