Keep the Lakes Fun for All
- Treat all boaters, lake residents, and wildlife with respect and consideration.
- Sound carries over water. Turn down the music, especially in the early and late evening and if your boat has externally facing speakers.
- When anchoring with other boats, stay 500 feet offshore and consider tying up where there are few homes nearby.
- Avoid large wakes, and casting near docks, boats, and swimmers.
- Follow safe-boating rules and keep the lakes trash free.
