Beach Gate
Good news! If you have a code for the beach gate, it can be used for the dumpster lot gate. If not, here is the process:
To get started, please email our CPA, Tiffany Wahlberg, at twcpa1@gmail.com. She will set you up in the system and send you an email with your access information. Your manual code will appear on the last line of that email. This manual code may be used by any property owners and their family members.
If you choose to use the app, please note that it can only be downloaded to one phone, and the setup must be completed within a few days of receiving Tiffany’s email. If too much time passes and you are unable to sign in, you will need to request a new registration code by following the instructions in Item 1 below.
Using the app is optional. Owners who prefer not to use it—or who are not comfortable with technology—may simply use the manual code instead.
There are two options for accessing the beach and dumpster gates:
1. SynQ Prox App
-
- Open the app when you want to enter the beach or dumpster lot. You should receive an email from Synq Prox with a link and registration code after you contact Tiffany. This code is only used to register the app and will not open the gate. You can get a code by clicking register account, enter your email address, then click email me my registration code. Currently, we are only allowing one app user per lot. Other owners and their family can use option
-
- If you have a great need for more app users, please let Tiffany know the circumstances and she will get it approved.
2. Gate(s) Manual Code
-
- This is a 4-digit code that can be manually typed in. You will need to enter the code followed by #.
-
- Please remember that gate access is restricted to Bear Lake West HOA and POA Members only. Your assigned access code records a date and time stamp each time it is used, allowing the Association to track gate activity.
-
- Only share your code with the other owners listed on your property. You are responsible for anyone who uses your code and for any issues or damage that occur as a result.
-
- Your code will operate all three gates: the vehicle slide gate, the walk‑in gate, and the dumpster lot gate. Your access privileges apply to all of them.

If you encounter someone using the access illegally, please contact the Sheriff’s Office.

We are working to provide a porta‑potty on BLW property. It will be located some distance from the water. If one is available, please use it.
Safety & Responsibility
Beach use is at your own risk. If your vehicle becomes stuck, you are responsible for arranging assistance. In the event of an accident, contact the Sheriff’s Office.
