High Water, No Wake – Check Boats

Update 5/24/14: The lake waters have finally receded enough to turn off the High Water, No Lake lights. However, EXTREME CAUTION is still advised. The storm brought a lot of debris into the lake. While our crew was able to remove much of the larger debris, there may still be some hidden in the muddy waters.

Due to the large amount of rain we have received in Roaming Shores, the entire lake is now NO WAKE until further notice! If you see the lights flashing by the Clubhouse and the Beach 2 area, those are the indicators that the lake is NO WAKE.

Creating a wake while the lake water is high risks damage to docks and boats. Be cautious!

High lake waters bring more than just water. If you are out on the lake today, remember to be extra cautious of debris that may be in the water and hidden due to the muddy conditions.

Check on your docked boats. If the lake water is high and there is not enough slack in your line, the line can snap and your boat can float away. But make sure not to have too much slack to where your boat can end up on top of your dock. If you have canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, etc. on your dock, you may want to consider moving them further away from the shore. Remember, having your lot number on ALL of your watercraft is not only a rule, it makes it easier to identify whose boat is whose if they get loose. The Village also has an ordinance (583-07-2013) requiring your lot number to be on your dock in 5 inch tall letters.

If you are not a full time resident, consider calling your neighbors to check on your boats.
