Private Club
Members Only
Baseline Reservoir was built in the first quarter of the 20th century and is owned by the Baseline Land and Reservoir Company consisting of ditch owners who are predominantly farmers to the east needing the water to grow crops. About 75 years ago, a motorboat club was formed that signed a lease with the ditch owners to be able to use the surface water rights and the land around the lake. Baseline Lake swim group was formed well over 50 years ago. It is a private non-profit group that sub-leases the north end of the lake from the motorboat club. The original boundaries for membership were set at that time when there were far fewer houses in the neighborhood. Now there are roughly 275 houses in this same designated area and the membership limit set by the Baseline Land and Reservoir Company is 125.
Since Boulder’s growth and real estate market has ballooned, so has our wait list. Currently the wait list is 8-10 years long.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
If you are considering buying a home within the boundaries of the Baseline Lake swim club, you must know the following:
1. The wait list is years long. The reason for that is mathematical. We are limited to 125 memberships by our lease of the swim area from but there are approximately 275 households within our boundaries eligible to join. Even though the real estate turnover is high, not everyone who sells a home in our area was a lake member to open up a vacancy.
2. Members are invited from the list strictly in chronological order according to sign-up date. There are again approximately 70 households on the list. Bribes are not accepted and bullying doesn't work.
3. Our lease of the swim area of the lake is on a year-to-year basis. This lease can be lost at any time or cancelled without notice. Following the Rules published on this website is the bottom line to keeping our access. Any one person can lose this access for all 125 memberships.
4. If you have purchased a property and have moved in, read our Rules and if you are willing to follow them, then sign up below.
