Only one reservation for each date will be approved. Failure to follow the reservation requirements and park rules will forfeit future use of the park kitchen shelter.

The following rules apply:
- Priority will be given to official Scott Lake events like the Scott Lake Kids Fishing Derby. Reservations beginning at 2:00 p.m. and later on the Fishing Derby day will be considered. Final approval for this date will be made by a representative from the SLAMS, sponsors of the Fishing Derby.
- A reservation does not include the exclusive use of the swimming area beach, playgrounds, docks, boat ramp, parking or private use of the water connections.

If any gathering will exceed 25 persons and the rental/reservation fee has not been paid, prior approval for use of the park must be obtained by the Scott Lake Maintenance Company office.
