Salmon Lake Park + Resort is a privately owned campground and recreational vehicle park (as defined in Texas Penal Code 30.05 and Texas Water Code 13.087).  Any person on the premises may be ejected from the park at any time for any reason without refund.  At no time and in NO circumstance is a landlord/tenant relationship established with any guest.  The following Terms and Use Agreement have been instituted to inform guests of the expectations of use of Salmon Lake Park + Resort.  The guest agrees to the following:

As a participant in a recreation activity, I am responsible for acting within the limits of my ability and heeding all warnings regarding participation in the activity. I will maintain control of myself and any equipment while participating in the activity and will refrain from acting in any manner that may cause or contribute to injury to myself or to others.

I also agree and understand that there is NO lifeguard is on duty! SALMON LAKE AND ALL BODIES OF WATER CONTAINED WITHIN PARK BOUNDARIES ARE SWIM AT MY OWN RISK.

 

Salmon Lake is a spring fed, natural body of water that due to currents, weather events, wildlife and other events, can change from day to day.  This includes but is not limited to changes in water depths, visibility, wildlife populations, etc.   The lake bottom is not consistent, depth is unmarked and can drop off quickly from the sides and without warning.  New swimmers and weak swimmers should wear life jackets.
