This note is to remind all boaters of Orion Township Ordinance # 20. This is regarding boating on our lake.

No boat shall be on plane or be towing skiers etc. from the hours of 7:30 PM till 11AM Eastern Daylight time. The actual Ordinance may be found on the Marina Page or on Orion Township website. There was alot of complaints last Summer of people "stretching the rules" to accommodate themselves. Please be considerate to others that enjoy some quiet time on the lake.

Legal Fireworks can be purchased at almost anytime now in Michigan. There are regulations as to when the can be discharged. Take a look at the attached  to be aware of the laws. It's easier to obey the laws, when you know what they are. Or, you may be suprised with a hefty fine!

We have created a  list of available people offering their services on the Website: Babysitters/ Petsitter/ walkers in the neighborhood. Click on the Services Directory tab on the left side of this page for more information. Anyone else interested in having their contact information posted, please send it through the website or contact one of the boardmembers.

I have recently been seeing and hearing Sandhill Cranes around the area. I found them at the football field this morning and was able to get close enough to get a couple of pictures.

We have had several reports of boats motoring into the swim area to pick up "friends" from the swim platform. This is against the law and a very dangerous situation. Parents, if your children or young adults are allowed to drive your boats, PLEASE remind them to stay out of the swim area. We will be monitoring the situation and reporting violators to proper the authorities. Two children lost there lives in a boating accident last week on Sylvan Lake. We don't want any accidents at the KHA beach.

This is a reminder to all that Dogs are not allowed on the beach! People have been allowing their dogs onto the beach and this is not going to be tolerated! If you see someone with their dog on the beach. Please remind them it is against the rules. They are the ones at fault and the need to be reminded of this.

I received from a friend a map of Orion from 1896 and have posted it in the documents section of the Website. I would like to share it with those interested. Click on the documents tab on the home page. Or the link below.
