Local Fourth of July Celebration

Due to construction of the brand new Sylva Library at the old county courthouse, the Fourth of July fireworks display in Sylva has been cancelled.

No worries, Bear Lake Reserve will still be doing our own fireworks display on Friday, July 3rd at 9:15pm at the Lake Club.

Saturday, July 4th, the town of Cashiers, NC (20 min south of BLR) is hosting several events throughout the day. At the Village Green, from 11am right up until the fireworks begin, there will be bluegrass and mountain music at the Cashiers Mountain Music Festival. Cost is $20 for adults, $5 for kids aged 6-12, and free for children under 6.

If you just have fireworks on the brain, you can park anywhere around town and view them as they are set off above the community center. Fireworks begin after dark.

A Few Summer Reminders

We have officially kicked off the summer here at Bear Lake Reserve with a fun filled Memorial Day weekend! Members enjoyed music by Chad Hallyburton as well as the Buncombe County Boys. Some brave souls even took their turn at learning how to contra dance!

As we go into what is sure to be a fun-filled summer here at Bear Lake, just a few reminders:

Don't forget to make your reservation for a pontoon boat!

Towels cost $12.00 to replace. Please do not leave the Lake Club with towels. Also, please use 1 towel per visit as the laundry expense is $1.35 per towel.

Dinner Reservations are required and the last seating is at 8:00 pm. No exceptions.

Coolers with beverages and food are not allowed inside the Lake Club or inside the fenced in area around the pool.

Remember there is no life guard on duty and therefore, you are swimming at your own risk. Children under 12 are not allowed in the hot tubs without parental supervision. NO CLIMBING ON THE ROCKS!

No wet bathing suits are allowed inside the kids room or the Lake Club.

We look forward to seeing you at the lake this summer!

Good News on Docks!

We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Duke Energy and Centex to resolve the outstanding issues associated with docks and dock permitting at Bear Lake. The good news is that all owners with docks associated with their property will be able to maintain those docks, and Terramesa will have sufficient docks for our future development plans.

There will be some additional paperwork required to finalize the transfer of Duke dock permits to the current property owners. Centex has agreed to take care of preparing and filing these transfer applications, and will cover the permit transfer fees as well. You will be receiving a letter from Centex in the next few weeks with the permit transfer application and other related documents, and the letter will provide instructions for completing and returning the application.

We understand that this has been a long process to reach what we believe is a satisfactory resolution, and we appreciate your patience during that time as we worked out the details.
