Sunset Lake Association

The Sunset Lake Association, incorporated in 1932, was established to preserve and maintain the lake as a source of recreation as well as a scenic asset for the area. Membership of the Sunset Lake Association is limited to 150 families who have been approved by a majority vote of the Board of Trustees. Click Here to see our updates due to COVID-19.

Welcome to Sunset Lake

Sunset Lake Association is a private community club offering year-round recreational facilities for members and guests. Regular membership is open to everyone living in the watershed area, but anyone can apply for recreation membership. Membership provides an opportunity to meet people within the community and has led to lasting friendships. Sunset Lake community club is an ideal way for new residents to make friends in the area.

Contact Information

Changes to member email and/or phone contact information should be directed to Mike Mclaughlin at beardedmike99@gmail.com. If you are not getting emails from the lake, please contact Mike with your email address.

Volunteerism

Volunteerism helps our lake thrive. Please take the time out of your busy schedule to come down and pitch in. You would be surprised at how much work can be done in just a half hour. For more information, contact Sean Ryan for clubhouse or Ken Campbell for grounds.

Lock Up Before You Leave

If you are the last person leaving the patio at night, please make sure the fire is put out, lights are turned off in both kitchen and bathrooms, the music is turned off, and the clubhouse and bathroom doors are locked. In addition, please make sure the road is open by moving the road barricades off to the side of the road.

Trespassing

From time to time non-members are found using our facilities – fishing, ice skating, sitting on the beach, and playing basketball. While we strive to create a welcoming environment for potential members, that doesn’t mean we turn a blind eye to trespassers. If you see someone who isn’t a familiar face, ask if they are members and to see their membership key tag. Asking is often enough to deter people who are not members from using the facilities. Please call the Bridgewater Police non-emergency number at (908) 722- 4111 to report them if they do not leave. You may do so anonymously.

Sunset Lake Update for COVID-19

All open activities MUST practice Social Distancing

We continue to operate under restrictions due to COVID-19. Although we are a private organization, we fall under the Governor’s closure policy and operate under the same.

If you want to use the beach, you must socially distance. Face masks are not required, in keeping with the Governor’s orders for parks, but it’s a good idea to wear one.

Please do not congregate together on the beach without social distancing. We have allowed the beach to remain open in an effort to provide a place for recreation. If social distancing is not followed on the beach, we will close it. We have many members who are older or have compromised immune systems. Please keep everyone safe and let the beach be enjoyed by all our members.
