State Boating Guidelines
- Boat traffic is counter-clockwise. In other words, drive up the east side of the lake going north and down the west side of the lake going south. Your driving pattern should be a large oval.
- Pass on the right.
- Boats going slower have the right away. So do small fishing boats or boats with smaller motors.
- Boats pulling tubes should be aware of the length of their lines and not get too close to shoreline or docks.
- All the coves have a no-wake rule whether they have a buoy out or not.
- State law prohibits anyone under the age of 14 from operating water crafts that includes boats and jet skis.
- Age 14-18 can operate watercraft only if they have a certification from an approved boaters safety class from their state of residence or the state of Nebraska.
- Children under 12 years old aboard any vessel must wear a USCG approved life jacket.
