Private Docks must display ACL Lot Number 
In accordance with the ACL Building Code, all private boat docks at Apple Canyon Lake must display the owner's lot number. The lot numbers must be placed facing the water, and be at least 4 inches in height and of contrasting color to the dock. It is necessary that Safety & Security, and area emergency personnel can identify your property address from the water. In addition, if damage is done to your dock or it floats away, it is easily identifiable. By complying with this request, you are ultimately improving the life safety of the lake for everyone.
 
Contact the office to ensure insurance & registration is up to date!
Please call the office before coming to the lake to ensure your insurance, registration, etc. is up to date. Most insurance companies are not open on weekends, and we cannot issue a decal if all required paperwork is not on file. An insurance card is not acceptable, because the Association must see what vehicle/watercraft is covered, the amount of liability coverage, the expiration date of the policy, and in the case of vehicles used on the trails, that ACLPOA is listed as Additional Insured or Additional Interest on the policy. All insurance and registration must be in the property owner's name. Please make every effort to have paperwork sent over prior to Memorial Day weekend. Documents may be
emailed to us or faxed to (815) 492-2160.
 
Illinois Watercraft Registrations expire June 30
Illinois State Watercraft Registrations expire every three years on June 30. If your Watercraft Registration expires this year, renew online and print the renewal confirmation page. ACL will accept this renewal confirmation page as evidence of registration until the new registration card and decals arrive in the mail. We cannot accept a telephone confirmation number as evidence of renewal.

Seasonal Campers must be stickered no later than Memorial Weekend
Per the ACL Rules & Regulations, 
"All seasonal camping units must display a current year decal and ID numbers issued by the Association prior to occupying a campsite. For camping units stored on site over the winter, the current year decal & ID numbers must be displayed by Memorial Day Weekend. The current year decal and ID numbers must be visible from the road." 
If the current year decal and ID numbers are not displayed by Monday, May 29, or before the campsite is occupied, a $50 citation will be issued.

Free mulch at the Quarry (Archery Range): ACL has been the recipient of unsolicited dumping of mulch at the quarry on the north side of the lake (N. Apple Canyon Rd between Bear Claw Dr. & Eagle Feather Ct.) and we need to get rid of it.  
PLEASE help yourself to the mulch in this location only (mulch at the old firehouse is intended for ACL projects - please do NOT take from this location.)   
Please note: The quarry is not a dumping ground for landscaping or construction refuse and anyone caught doing so could be fined.
Mark your calendars . Please join us!
