FAQ's
1. What is the Arrowhead Lake Association (ALA)?
Lake Arrowhead is privately owned by Arrowhead Lake Association
for the recreational use and enjoyment of all its members, their
families and their guests. ALA owns and operates the Lake, Burnt
Mill and Tavern Bay Beach Clubs, Marina Peninsula Park and Grass
Valley Lake. ALA also owns and maintains the reserve strip and
reserve strip addition and numerous accesses which allow property
owners, who are not lakefront, access down to the Lake at specified
areas.
2. What are Lake Rights?
All properties located within the boundary of Arrowhead Woods
(except Lakewood A & B) have lake rights. This means the owners
have the right to use the Lake for recreational purposes, i.e.,
fishing, swimming, boating and using the reserve strip and reserve
strip addition for foot travel where designated (See Access Map
available in the ALA office).
3. What is the reserve strip and the reserve strip
addition?
It is a strip of land around the shoreline just above the high
water for use by all owners of property within Arrowhead Woods
for park and recreational purposes. Restrictions on the use of
these reserve strips can be found in several places, such as old
deeds and CC&R’s dating back to 1932. “Reserve
Strips” are certain strips of land bordering the major portion
of the Lake and lying within the contour lines of 5,122 feet above
sea level to 5,132 feet above sea level. The width varies depending
on elevation. The “Reserve Strip Addition” is certain
strips of land bordering the major portion of the Lake and lying
within the contour lines of 5,100 to 5,122 feet above sea level.
4. How do I reach the reserve strip to walk around
the shoreline?
ALA maintains a number of accesses. Most have been improved and
marked with a number for easy identification. (Access Map shows
locations) Bicycling on the reserve strip is not permitted.
5. What must be done to launch a boat on the lake?
The current registration fee is $200 per boat with dock, and $300
per boat without a dock. The minimum length of a boat with a motor
is 12 feet; the maximum length is 26 feet. All boats under 12
feet - no motor (stay within the "no wake" buoy line)
must also be registered with the ALA. The fee for a small boat
- no motor is $50, however, if you own a dock the fee is reduced
to $25. Briefly the requirements are as follows:
* Must own property within Arrowhead Woods (Grant Deed);
* Must own the boat (DMV Registration for the boat);
* Must carry $500,000 combined single limit liability and Arrowhead
Lake Association must be named as "Additional Insured";
* Must provide proper mooring (Slip Rental Agreement Signed by
Slip owner), or day launch;
* Must obtain a boat operator's license ($15, Open book, multiple
choice test);
A detailed boat registration requirement list is available at
the ALA office
6. What is the difference between a boat slip and
boat slip right?
A boat slip is a physical structure located on Lake Arrowhead
for the mooring of a boat. There is a numerical designation. A
boat slip right is the right to purchase a new boat slip and have
it placed on the Lake in a predetermined site when the property
is improved. A membership fee is applicable for both a boat slip
and or boat slip right.
7. Can I windsurf, kneeboard or Jet Ski on Lake Arrowhead?
Windsurfing, kneeboarding and Jet Skiing is not allowed on our
Lake. The Board of Directors feels such activities are unsafe
and will not permit the same.
8. Can I trim or cut a tree?
No tree trimming or cutting is permissible on ALA property or
Arrowhead Woods without prior written approval from the applicable
organization. To trim or cut a tree on your own property, it must
be approved by the Arrowhead Woods Architectural Committee. They
can be reached at 909-336-2755.
9. What is a General Membership?
Your General Membership fees help to pay for routine maintenance
programs (weed removal, dredging, erosion control, trash removal),
maintaining the shoreline and more than 60 accesses and trails,
stocking the lake with fish, and putting on Fourth of July Fireworks
display. In addition, we mail our Update and other items of interest
to all our members during the year, and your membership fees help
to defray the cost of these items. The current fee is $60
10. How do I transfer my boat slip or boat slip right?
Before any documents can be drawn up, a written notification must
be received by the ALA office identifying the buyers and their
lot and tract (buyer must provide a copy of their Recorded Grant
Deed). There is a fee for this service, $1000. You may open an
escrow for the transfer of a boat slip or a boat slip right. Please
contact Lisa at the ALA office for more information 909-337-2595.
11. What is the “Disclosure and Indemnification
Statement” required for boat slip transfers?
ALA does not guarantee title, nor does ALA investigate security
liens. This document makes that clear to both buyer and seller
so that no misunderstandings occur.
12. If I have a security interest in a boat slip/boat
slip right, how do I protect myself?
ALA cannot prevent a transfer if the owner requests it to be done.
However, we will notify both buyer and seller if we have a written
request to do so. Mail a letter to the ALA office stating that
you have security interest and give the pertinent details - boat
slip number and current owner's name. We will place that in the
file and will notify you (the secured party) if a transfer is
requested.
13. What if I sell my house but do not sell my boat
slip/boat slip right at the same time?
There is an option available to the boat slip or boat slip right
owner who wishes to remove a boat slip from his/her property and
has no other improved property (or unimproved, in the case of
a boat slip right). The owner may enter into a "transfer
agreement" with ALA whereby they release the boat slip/boat
slip right to ALA for holding until such time as a qualified buyer
is found, or the maximum period of 365 days is reached. There
is a fee for this service, $2000.
14. What improvements can I make to my boat slip
and surrounding area?
Before any construction or repair work is performed on appurtenant
structures on the lake and or reserve strip, a permit from the
ALA office must be obtained. There is a set of guidelines in the
office to assist in the application. An application fee is required.
For further information please look at the Shoreline page of this
site, or contact Virginia, our Shoreline Representative 909-337-2595.
15. What is a lakefront lot?
The ALA office has a list of lakefront lots surrounding Lake Arrowhead.
The definition reads, in part "a lot the boundary of which
is common...to property owned by ALA commonly referred to as "reserve
strip" or "reserve strip addition", ... excluding
any property owned by ALA that is drainage property...Any lot
