2. While Lakeview Plantation/Cedar KnollŪ Trails makes every effort to insure that the trails and facilities are safe, we assume no risk nor liability for injuries resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, "pursuant to Article 7, Chapter 9 of Title 47, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976."

3. All visitors must sign a waiver of liability before participating in any activities on Lakeview Plantation.  Minors also need the signature of their parent or guardian and should bring a signed release with them, if their parent or guardian will not be in attendance.

4. The trees, shrubbery, food plots and lawn on Lakeview Plantation are valuable, esthetically pleasing resources.  Consequently, horses or mules should not be tied, ridden, exercised or lunged where trees, shrubbery, food plots or lawn, including those encountered on trails and in the camping area, would be damaged.  Please do not tie to trailers in the camping area other than for tacking up.  Picketing and lunging are permitted in designated areas only.  Picket lines, electric fences and customer stalls are not permitted inside the boundaries of the camping area.  Fires are permitted only in designated areas or fire pits provided by Lakeview Plantation and/or in raised fire pits (which do not come in contact with the ground) provided by the customer.  Please do not attempt to burn trash in fire pits.

Guests are responsible for the removal of all waste created by the animals and uneaten hay to the compost pile or to the appropriate receptacle (muck bucket) provided by Lakeview Plantation on a daily basis.  This includes, but is not limited to that deposited in stalls, along picket lines, and in camping areas.  Please clean up thoroughly before departure.
