• A: Since people rarely see boats on the lake, it is common to think they are not allowed. Despite the fact that usually the only boats seen are canoes and kayaks, there are no restrictions on the types of boats one can take on the lake. The only restrictions on private boats are that you must stay 1 mile away from the islands from April 1 to August 1, and you must stay 250 yards away from Osprey nests while occupied (usually April 1 to September). Commercial tours require a permit. Lake conditions are not suitable for speedboats or jet skis, since the water is very salty and alkaline and there are many submerged obstacles. All boats should use extreme caution, since dangerous winds can arise without warning. Stay close to shore and be off the lake by noon. Do not approach resting or feeding birds. Keep your distance from sensitive wildlife areas such as the creek deltas. Click here for more information about boat tours.
