*****  Deer Lake ATV Traffic  *****

There have been several recent incidents of inappropriate ATV use at Deer Lake. Please be sure all ATV riders respect the property and privacy of Deer Lake residents by not operating ATVs on private property or in a noisy or unsafe manner. There are a number of areas where ATV riders have created trails across private property other than their own. Additionally, there have been several complaints of excessive speed and/or noise by ATVs operated on public roads. All the roads within Deer Lake are public county roads. There are recent changes to ATV regulations, especially concerning operation by young riders. You can find them here.

*****  Animals at Deer Lake  *****

Recently there have been some questions raised concerning animals at Deer Lake. Specifically, there have been some horses wandering loose from time to time. While permanent quartering of livestock is definitely prohibited on Deer Lake properties, the board considers keeping horses at Deer Lake for short term recreational purposes permissible. However, horses (as well as other animals) must be keep under close control and not allowed to wander loose to possibly cause damage to other persons' property. Likewise, dogs must be keep restrained, not allowed to wander free, and prevented from continuous barking.
