• Fireworks, sparklers and other incendiary devices are prohibited within Lost Valley (Dune vegetation is highly flammable and Lost Valley is seven miles from the nearest volunteer fire department).

• The speed limit in Lost Valley is 15 miles per hour. This applies to all cars, mopeds, trucks and other motor-driven cycles and vehicles. This regulation is essential to our safety and road maintenance.

• Do not walk on other property owners’ dunes on front or back lots. Walking on or disturbing the fragile dunes and vegetation creates erosion. This is consistent with the prohibition on trespassing over front lots to gain access to the lake.

• Keep beach areas clean and safe. Take all your own trash with you when you leave.

• Parking is allowed off the road in the designated spots for each property owner’s frontage.

• All floodlights are to be extinguished after 11:00 P.M. unless needed for emergencies.
