NEW STATE LAW FOR BOAT LAUNCHING

A new state law, effective in March of this year, requires boaters to do the following before transporting any watercraft over land:

  • Remove all drain plugs from bilges, ballast tanks, and live wells.

  • Drain all water from any live wells and bilges.

  • Ensure that the watercraft, trailer, and any conveyance used to transport the watercraft or trailer are free of aquatic organisms, including plants.

REPORT IT!

If you see poor lake behavior, an unlawful boater or an accident, get the MC number and report it to the Oakland County Sheriff. Our officer may be on the lake but not see the incident that you see.

Call 248 858 4950, press #8 to speak directly to a dispatch officer.    

Although we have sheriff presence on the lake, the officer is not always on patrol so members must be vigilant in the interest of safety. Let's send a message that unlawful behavior will not be tolerated by the sheriff or YOU.


Enjoy the INCREDIBLE Colors as We Transition into Fall
