Fat Jack – do you know where the law about swim platforms is available to read? Even though there are 1000 miles of shoreline on the lake, there are really few that are protected enough during a wind to anchor and eat a picnic lunch in peace. When a person buys a house near an airport, they can expect some noise. When someone buys undeveloped land in a protected cove, they should expect that it will be shared. Unjust disturbance is of course unacceptable, and disturbing people are a big problem on this lake – but I think it is wrong to allow land owners to designate their coves as no-anchor spots. While the rule “don’t go over headway speed with-in 150 feet of a swim platform” would apply here, I have never seen the rule that says don’t anchor. Note, I’m talking one boat – not a raft of boats.



Just Sold, thanks for your posting. I saw that regulation too, and did not think it applied. I don’t see how a swim platform a raft by the legal definition. It is not a boat. It is not registered. It was not occupied.
