I live near Church Ranches and would like to use your beaches and lakes. Can I pay a fee to get access?
The beaches, lakes and trails in Church Ranches are private property for the sole use of CRHA members, family members and their guests. CRHA members pay an annual fee for use and upkeep of these common lands. For issues related to safety, usage and maintenance, this fee and related privileges do not extend to people outside of the Church Ranches community. Guests only are permitted on the common lands or lakes when a CRHA member or family member accompanies them at all times. People who use the trails, beaches and lakes and are not residents of Church Ranches, or are not accompanied by a resident, are trespassing. Church Ranches has regular security patrols and trespassers are reported to the RCMP. Residents using the trails and beaches are required to have their identity bracelets on their person and be prepared to show the identity bracelet to security patrols when asked. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
