Just a friendly reminder to understand the importance of reducing speed in designated “no wake zones” on the water. In this busy inhabited area, boats are required to operate at a slow speed to minimize the wake created by the vessel. This helps to decrease erosion and reduce accidents and injuries, safeguarding swimmers, kayakers, paddleboarders, and other boats–all who have a right to enjoy the lake in a safe and respectful manner.

Additionally, activities such as water skiing, wake boarding and tubing should not be performed in no wake zones. These activities are better suited for areas where higher speeds are permitted and where there is less risk of disturbing others or causing accidents.

The lake population has grown considerably over the years and while having no precautions in place may have been satisfactory for many years, with the addition of wake boats and higher powered motors over those years, the concerns have grown as well.

By following these guidelines and being considerate of others sharing the water, boaters can contribute to a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone. Slowing down demonstrates basic courtesy and consideration for others fostering a sense of respect and community. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to contact MLAC.
