ARMY CORPS ON ENGINEERS ORDINANCES
Renter/Guest will comply with all statutes, ordinances, and requirements of all municipal, state, and federal authorities now in force, or which may be in force in the future, pertaining to the use of the Property. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages approximately 56,413 acres of land surrounding Bull Shoals Lake. The boundary line between public land and private property is irregular and is not a set distance from the lakeshore. Most of the line around Bull Shoals Lake has been surveyed and is defined by survey monuments placed at ground level. A 5-foot white steel fence post is set about one foot from the marker as an aid to location. Trees along the boundary line are marked with a 4-inch wide white band as an additional aid to location of the line. It is unlawful to modify vegetation in any way, including but not limited to cutting of trees/brush and mowing of marked grass areas. This is why much of our grass is uncut. It is also unlawful to drive or park vehicles on Army Corps of Engineers land. Foot traffic only signs have been posted between the house and the dock to aid in ensuring proper use of the Army Corps of Engineers land. Fines and penalties incurred resulting from guest’s violations will be the responsibility of the guest to pay.
