A Brief Overview of Boating Rules and Restrictions

Complete rules and regulations regarding the use of the lake are provided in the ELPOA Governing Document.  (You might need to download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to access this document.)

Skiing is allowed, as well as wake/knee boarding and tubing, but only with pull-behind tubing devices specifically made and marketed for use on recreational waters. 

In general, these are the boat restrictions:

• All mono- or single-hull boats, typically fishing and pleasure/ski boats, are restricted to 20 feet in maximum length (measured from the front of the boat to the end of the boat without accounting for the motor).
• All multi-hull/pontoon boats are restricted to 24 feet in maximum length.
• All sailboats are restricted to 20 feet in maximum length and 20 feet in maximum mast height.
• All other watercraft is restricted to 20 feet in maximum length.

Deer Lake is restricted to canoes, kayaks and pedal boats but no motors other than battery-powered trolling motors.
