- Trucks with plows pulling wheelhouses are NOT allowed on access roads, period.
- If you choose not to have a plowed spot, chains may be required depending on snow conditions and you will be on your own.
- Plowed wheelhouse spots may be created as snow conditions require during the winter season. When plowing is necessary, a non-refundable fee will be added to weekend wheelhouse rates or charged to seasonal wheelhouse accounts.
