Seasonal Notes (Winter)
Ice Safety
Winter Season
Please keep your mailbox cleared and accessible for the mail carrier after snow storms.
Getting out onto the ice for skating and fishing is hard to resist, but the freezing and thawing weather pattern that we have been experiencing in recent years makes ice safety a major concern. Click here to review the Ice Safety Information.
Ice Fishing on Ashford Lake is regulated by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Anyone planning to ice fish on Ashford Lake should be familiar with the DEEP rules and regulations that govern the activity. Click here to find out more about ice fishing regulations on Ashford Lake.
Recreational vehicles, snowmobiles and ATV’s are prohibited from use on the frozen surface of Ashford Lake. Click here to review the recreational vehicle resolution/policy.
According to CT DEEP Boating Regulations, a PFD must be worn by anyone in a manually propelled vessel (i.e., canoe or kayak) from October 1 through May 31.
Stay warm, stay safe and have a Wonderful Winter at the lake!

Community Watch & Safety (Association Notice)
While our community is generally quiet, peaceful and safe, we are occasionally affected by criminal acts. Residents are reminded to remain vigilant and to report vandalism, trespassing or any activity that appears suspicious to: Connecticut State Police, Troop C at 800.318.7633 or 860.896.3200.

Please leash and clean up after your pet!
Pet waste can be a health risk and a source of pollution to our lake. The nutrients in pet waste, notably nitrogen, and phosphorus, make their way to ponds, lakes, and streams. This can encourage weed or algae growth in the waterways, which may eventually lead to lower oxygen levels. Insufficient oxygen can harm fish and other organisms that live in the water.
