Boating
Please review the most current Boating Rules & Regulations here.
*Swimming and wading from BCA property is not permitted.*
Boat Registration for Residents
BCA members, tenants, and their guests may launch their own boats at Sunday Park or The Landing. Waterside Park and Harbour Pointe are exclusively for kayaks and canoes. Boats that are over 18 feet and have a motor must be registered with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. All boats utilizing the reservoir from Brandermill property must be registered with the Association. Amenity stickers are available at the BCA office and must be displayed on the starboard bow of privately owned boats. These decals are also required on all boats stored at the marina and on storage racks throughout Brandermill. Members and guests using launch facilities or rental options must display valid BCA hang tags from the rear-view mirror of their cars left in parking areas. Vehicles with trailers must be parked in the designated trailer parking lot at Sunday Park. Vehicles without proper parking decals are subject to towing at the owner’s expense. All watercraft used on the Swift Creek Reservoir, whether stored on BCA property (t-racks, posts, or waterfront property) or stored at a Brandermill home (in the garage/under the deck), must be registered annually with the BCA for general identification purposes and use of Brandermill boat launch sites. This includes windsurfers, paddle boards, and inflatable vessels.
