04/19/17 Reminder Trailer Boat Policy
Policy Regarding Boat Trailer Use in Parks
Please refer to rules and information for general boating policies. All watercraft (motorized or not) and trailers must be power washed and inspected for zebra mussels prior to placement in Highland Lake. Please contact your shore representative if you need help with the inspection. Anyone found to be introducing zebra mussels into the lake is subject to local and IL state fines.

Trailered Boat Policies and Procedures
Effective March 1, 2017, the following procedures must be followed by all boat owners wishing to launch and/or remove their boats using a trailer:
Per a 2009 court decision, use of 36 volt electric motors was found reasonable on Highland Lake.
Downey Park is the only approved launch/removal site. As Szontagh Park does not fall under the governance of HLPOA, no rules regarding the use of that park can be offered.

In order to obtain access to Downey Park, boat owners must contact their shore representative or the HLPOA President at least five days prior to the scheduled launch/removal date. Failure to do so may necessitate a delay in the occurrence. The president will arrange for a Board member to unlock the gate and monitor any damage to Park property. If any significant damage occurs, the boat owner will be responsible for its repair. The boat owner must be present at the time of the launch/removal in order to address any issues that may come up.

Anyone using a trailer to launch/remove a boat must be a HL resident. The gate unlocking fee for trailered boat access can be paid by either payment of annual dues to HLPOA, or payment of the unlocking fee of $50.00 to HLPOA for each unlocking event.

Owner must use the services of Board approved marine providers. Currently, only Ahlstrand Marine in Mundelein has been approved. The approval is contingent on Ahlstrand’s cooperation with power washing the trailer just prior to its entry into Highland Lake. Use of any other provider must be approved at least thirty days prior to the desired launch/removal date.

1/31/18 Eskimo's on Ice Recap
It was a great time at the two day event. Lots of comradery among anglers and the weather was great. Only two categories had fish registered. The first was the largest northern pike (28 inches) caught by guest Andy Loria and his brother Fred for the biggest bass a 14 inch small mouth. These fish were released and the prize money was returned by them to go towards fish stocking. A total of $270 was raised and will go toward our next fish stocking. The video of the party at Chic park will be posted soon.

12/28/17 Please Make Sure To Leash Your Dogs
Over the last several months there has been several incidents where unleashed dogs are chasing people while walking, biking, jogging and just walking their leashed pet. Many residents can no longer enjoy walking the neighborhood in fear of them being chased or bitten.
We ask that every resident that is a dog owner respect the laws that are currently in place for the safety of our residents and their dogs as well.  
Please note that in Lake County it is unlawful to walk an animal without a leash or other controlling devise that is not on your property. If your dog leaved your property and enters public sidewalks, road and etc. this then becomes an unleashed animal which is against the county ordinance.
This law is specified In the Lake County, IL code of ordinances Chapter 172. Section 172.07. Below is the section that covers this law. For more information please visit this link https://www.lakecountyil.gov/2487/Animal-Care-Control-Ordinances-Acts
  1. Control, running at large. An owner or harborer, when walking a dog, cat, or other animal on property other than that of the owner or harborer, shall control such animal with a leash. Any dog, cat, or other animal found running at large contrary to provisions of this chapter may be apprehended and impounded.
 
Please make every effort to abide by this law for the safety of all residents and their animals in the community. Should you see any unleased dogs running loose in the community you can contact Lake County animal control at 847-377-4700.
