  • Have at least 1 FIRE EXTINGUISHER on board.
  • Know RIGHT OF WAY & traffic rules of the water.
  • Obey NO WAKE ZONES.
  • Must stay at least 100 ft. clear of DIVER DOWN flag.

 

WATER SKIING IS GREAT!

Please Remember:

  • Always wear a LIFE JACKET.
  • Always have a SPOTTER.
  • Keep your eyes ope for possible WATER HAZARDS.
  • You must use a SKIER DOWN FLAG - at least 1ft. square & orange in color.


Please use common sense. There are serious penalties for drinking while operating a vessel.

PERSONAL WATERCRAFT:

  • Always wear your LIFE JACKET
  • You are subject to the same RIGHT OF WAY rules as boats.
  • WAKE JUMPING or operating in close proximity to others is prohibited.
  • Keep a SHARP LOOK OUT for other water users.
  • Obey NO WAKE ZONES


BOAT RAMP ETIQUETTE:

Launching & Loading

  • Know which side of the ramp is designated for loading and launching.
  • Do not block loading area until tow vehicle is ready to load. Load and unload equipment clear of the ramp. When launching don't release your bow winch line. Do unplug trailer lights. Is your drain plug in?
  • Wait your turn. Be courteous. When ready, pull into line to launch.
  • It takes two people to effectively and courteously launch/load a boat: one to handle the boat, one to take care of the tow vehicle.
  • Get clear of ramp as soon as possible. Pull into parking area to secure boat and unload gear. When launching, back into water, release boat from trailer and get both the boat and tow vehicle clear.
  • Enjoy your day on the water!
