I have to ask b/c I actually don't know ????

I suspect 'rafts' are regulated by State permit, and there certain distance that the waterfront property can place there raft ? Otherwise, a property owner could place the raft 'any' distance from the shore they desire, and gaining possibly a 'no-wake' distance from their land.

Does someone on the forum know the 'maximum distance from shore the raft can be positioned ? Does the raft once placed, have to be inspected by the Marine patrol or a state/local authority, to determine if it is within the statues of the law ? Is there any state/local controlling authority who monitors the location of these rafts around the lake, otherwise anyone could just go buy a 'raft' and install it themselves, without taking out a Permit ? I have these same questions regarding 'Moorings' ???

Gee, I just think I thought of a new State Agency !
