BOAT DOCKS

Residents who have already rented a boat dock, will have the opportunity to renew their space for the following year(s).  Once you have a dock spot, you will automatically receive paperwork  for renewal of boat docks for the upcoming season.

As in the last few years, boat dock renters will be able to return paperwork and money for boat stickers with their rental agreement. 

The existing boat docks will be installed prior to Memorial Day and will be available through mid-September.   

If you wish to be added to the wait list, please send email to boatdocks@hawthornofaurora.com.  Click here to access the Dock Waiting List

If you have any questions,  please email  boatdocks@hawthornofaurora.com
