Pond & Fishing Rules

Sadly, fur pond is private property for the enjoyment of Swains Creek Pines lot owners and their guests. To help keep it clean, safe, and well-maintained for everyone, please observe the following guidelines:
  • Fishing Permit Required: Anyone fishing must have a valid Swains Creek Pines fishing permit with them at all times.
  • Daily Limit: Each permitted lot may take up to 4 Rainbow Trout per day.
  • No Fish Cleaning at the Pond: Please do not clean fish at the pond, in the restrooms, or in the surrounding area.
  • Pack It In, Pack It Out: Please take all trash with you when you leave so the area stays beautiful for everyone.
Sadly, failure to follow these guidelines may result in the revocation of fishing privileges. Thank you for helping care for this special part of our community.

Fishing Permit Pickup
The board is hosting a fishing permit pickup on Saturday, May 16th, right after the Board Meeting. If you cannot attend, SCPLOA fishing permits are available for direct pick-up from the on-site Facility Managers at the Barn, located near the pond. Regular hours are 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, seven days a week. If the Facility Managers are out in the field, a clipboard is posted on the Barn door. Please leave your name, contact information, and your request, and they will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

More good things to know...

  • Wood Disposal Pit ("Burn Pit"): The Wood Disposal Pit is located on Mammoth Creek Road between the Post Office and the Fire Station.
  • Culverts: If you have a driveway culvert, it is your responsibility to maintain your culvert. Keep it clear of dirt, rocks, and limbs. If it is plugged, the diverted water can damage roads and the county grader might plow it out. Also, the recommended size pipe is 12 inches in diameter.
  • Firearm Safety: Do not discharge weapons within 600 feet of cabins or other buildings.
  • Pets: PETS MUST BE KEPT UNDER THE IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF THE OWNER AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ROAM AT LARGE OR OTHERWISE DISTURB THE PEACE. The Kane County Nuisance Ordinance prohibits dogs running at large. Sheriff Glover attended our June Board meeting and confirmed that his Officers will respond to problems with dogs. To report problems, call (877) 644-2349.
