If you rent your cabin out, keep in mind that your tenants may not be familiar with Serene Lakes' community policies. Please see Property Owner Guidelines and Lot 1 Rules. We encourage you to review this information with your renters and print and post this information in a visible area in your cabin.

Bear Boxes

BEAR WITH US!!  We have had a sighting this season of a bear attempting to open a bearproof garbage enclosure, cars and garages. If you see a bear in Serene Lakes contact Bear League's 24 hour hotline at 530-525-PAWS (7297) or report it to the Department of Fish and Wildlife through their WIR System which assigns a designated “Investigator” based on the geographic location of the wildlife incident reported. The Investigator may be a Department Biologist or Wildlife Officer (warden) and will receive general notification by email of an assigned WIR incident. Department staff strive to respond to all WIRs in a timely manner.

Fire Safety & Evacuation Preparedness

BE PREPARED! Many of you have already received a hard-copy of our newly printed Evacuation Guide which includes a brightly colored door hanger. The door hanger would be placed on the outside of your cabin door during an emergency so that authorities know that you have evacuated.

Please take a few minutes to review it with your family. We encourage you to print it out and put it in a visible place in your cabin so that it is readily available during an emergency.  

If you do not have a printed version for your cabin, email safetyslpoa@gmail.com and they can arrange to get you one while supplies last (or you can download it the from the link above.)
