Swimming
There are no lifeguards or facilities on any body of water accessed by Foundation property. The Foundation absolves itself of any liability for death or personal injury as a result of swimming on its lands. Swimming may specifically be prohibited if the habitat is fragile and use is determined to be harmful to wildlife or it is determined that swimming is inherently dangerous due to local currents.
NOTE: Swimming is prohibited at Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary.
Commercial Use

Motorized vehicles are allowed on driveways, roads, and easements.
