So, I figured I would ask the experts this question that was posed to me last week while out with friends on the lake. If the water is public use and not owned by an individual what rules are there about the floating islands of toys that seem to be everywhere. Question was, if a boat can anchor just about anywhere like in front of a private home can the boat anchor and use the toys that are moored in public water? The question came up because I used to anchor between two small islands and I can't anymore as a bunch of water toys have been put there and i don't want to take the chance of getting tangled up. I know we have been tempted to have a little fun on one of these toy islands but haven't found the courage to try it. Just having fun here and trying to satisfy my curiousity.
Thank You!
