Waterfront Boat Slips

The Hidden Lake Association offers a limited number of Boat Slips and Kayak/Canoe Rack Spaces at the waterfront for members to use seasonally for a fee.  Spaces are given out in the order that requests are received and are dependent upon association assessments and boat fees are paid in full as of the due date (May 1, 202).  Boat slips are a privilege and may be revoked for non-compliance of HLA covenants and bylaws.  Members currently on the waiting list will be assigned slips once all renewals are assigned.  To request a Boat Slip or Kayak/Canoe Rack Space, receive the policies and procedures, complete the boat slip request, and submit it with payment along with your association assessment.

2023 HLA Boat Slip Policies and Procedures
  1. Fees – Boat Slips are $50 and Kayak/Canoe Rack Spaces are $10 per season.
  2. Boat Slip Renewals - Boat slip renewals are tied to the annual assessment and due date (currently May 1).  All renewal requests are granted if assessment and slip fee are paid in full by the due date.  Requests to change to a different slip will be granted if the new slip is available and the assessment and slip fee is paid in full by the due date.
  3. New Boat Slip Requests – Boat slip requests are tied to the annual assessment and due date (currently May 1) and the availability of a slip.  Owner must be in good standing and only 1 boat slip per assessment paid will be assigned.
  4. Waiting List – The waiting list is on a first-come first-serve basis to members and is tied to the full payment of your assessment and pre-payment of the boat slip fee/deposit.  If a slip is not provided, your boat slip fee/deposit will be carried over to the next year until a slip becomes available and applied to that year’s boat slip fee.  Your boat slip fee/deposit will be returned if you are removed from the waiting list.
  5. Transfers – A slip is assigned to the member and a specific boat registration.  If you wish to use your slip for a different boat, you must notify the Waterfront Director to update the records.  A slip WILL NOT transfer with the sale of the lot – the day the property transfers to the new owner, the slip releases back to the HLA to be assigned to the next member on the waiting list.  The boat fee will be returned if your property is sold prior to September 1.
  6. Non-Members – Slips are not available to non-HLA members.
  7. Additional Boat Slip Requests – If a member request an additional slip beyond the number of assessments they pay, the request may be granted at the start of the season if a slip is available and there are no members on the waiting list.  Since this slip is not associate with an assessment, this slip WILL NOT be automatically renewed the following year.
  8. Shore Slips – Members may provide and maintain a platform at shore slips, but no pressure treated lumber should ever be in or over the water.  All platforms should be on the shore, not in the lake.
  9. Non-Compliance – Boat slips are a privilege and may be revoked for non-compliance of HLA covenants and bylaws.
  10. Policies and Procedures – These policies and procedures may be changed by the Waterfront Director and approved by the HLA Board of Directors.
  11. Security – Cameras are in place at the waterfront to provide some security, but we highly recommend that you properly secure any personal belongings.
  12. Liability – The use of HLA boat slips, shore slips, and kayak/canoe racks is AT YOUR OWN RISK.  HLA assumes no responsibility for loss, damage, or injury.
  13. Non-Use – If your boat slip will not be utilized for an extended period (2 weeks or more), please e-mail advance notice to WaterfrontDirector@hiddenlakeassociation.com.  We will use this opportunity to schedule those on the wait list an opportunity to use their boat.
