We do our best to ensure there is propane available for grills and/or fire pits, but cannot guarantee there will be propane for use throughout your stay. If all available tanks are empty, we ask that you refill a tank and provide a receipt for reimbursement. Note: be sure to refill/replace the existing tanks - do not purchase a brand new tank.

When drought, weather or other conditions present an unusual fire risk, a burn ban may be imposed by the community without prior notice.

A fishing license is required by PA for anyone 16 and older. The community also requires a Emerald Lake Fishing License, which can be acquired at the office. Any fish caught must be released back into the lake.
