FYI, on at least one northern metro lake, Rush, there is a "no wake" rule until the water levels drop below the high-water level for a min. of 3 days.

It's posted at the boat ramps.

This from the Sheriff's Dept. in case no one was aware.

The Sheriffs Water Patrol has been writing citations for this also. So be careful out there. From their facebook page

The following lakes have a No Wake zone: East Rush Lake, West Rush Lake, Goose Lake, Robour Lake, and Mandall Lake. The 'slow no wake zone' is 300 feet from shore and means that the operation of a watercraft at the slowest possible speed necessary to maintain steerage, and no greater than 5 mph. The no wake zone is to help minimize damage to shorelines and islands due to high water levels.

Some may argue that this is only for visitors and not those with homes on the lake and that waterskiing is excluded from this rule.

I think we saw at least 6 boats cruisin around the other night haha

I though no wake means no wake, not just inside 300 feet. I have seen several boats getting pulled over on Minnetonka
that could have argued the 300 feet rule

Kap, the Sheriffs deputy told me of the 100 yd. rule. I questioned the rule (gently) as it seemed odd. Waves don't stop coming after 100 yds. He said "dems da rules!"
