Property Policies

• Merry Lea is for all who enjoy the experience of nature on foot. Visitors who share this interest are welcome on the trails any time during daylight hours.  Supervised night hiking is occasionally a part of the program.
• No hunting, trapping or discharge of firearms will be permitted within the borders of Merry Lea.
• No all-terrain vehicles will be permitted on Merry Lea.
• There is to be no horseback riding on Merry Lea.
• Snowmobileing is not a part of activities at Merry Lea.
• Duck hunting on the lakes is to occur from public waters and not from within Merry Lea boundaries.
• Merry Lea is not to be used as a general access for ice fishing. Written permission can be obtained for crossing Merry Lea to reach the `gooseneck' of Bear Lake. Some may wish to cross through Luckey's Landing to reach High Lake, and this is presently acceptable without written permission.
• Mushroom hunting will not be allowed.
• Parking is permitted only in designated areas. Driveways, roadsides and field entrances are not appropriate parking places.
• Unauthorized fires are not permitted.
• Dumping or littering is not permitted.
• Dogs and cats brought to Merry Lea must be under direct control at all times. Bringing family pets is strongly discouraged because their presence is disruptive to the native animals and plants as well as to the visitors who come to Merry Lea expecting to experience a natural area.
• In recognition of our stewardship of human resources as well as natural features, use of alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs is not to be a part of activity at Merry Lea.
