and “MN nice” cabin and lake usage

Another year moves along. How many months of boat usage was that? Here in MN, we are fortunate to have our water “toys” available for 3-4-5 months. Very easily, in those other 7-8-9 months, to put the guidelines far back in our minds.

Reminders

Jet skis/personal watercraft-lake usage times set by MN law run from 9:30 a.m. until an hour before sunset. Lucky for us, sunset is about 9 p.m. right now, but days only getting shorter.
Those passengers under age 10 need to be wearing their life jacket-not just have it in the boat.
Boaters, please stay right when passing. Keep an eye out for others in the lake.
Big boats….stay in the middle of the lake to help preserve our shorelines from large wakes.
While the lake is all public waters, be kind to those on their dock, swimming near their property, or just relaxing lakeside. Choose to park your boat to swim or relax a polite distance from others.
Are you a night owl out fishing? Remember others may be trying to sleep. Your conversations carry well across the water, as does your motor noise. Be considerate for those sleeping in nearby cabins when you find that hot fishing spot.
How big is your wake? Own it! Remember smaller craft, including SUP, paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, sail boats, water skiers, wake boarders, knee boarders, tubers and swimmers cannot change their coarse to get out of your large wake trailing behind you. Your boating affects more than just your boat location.
Enjoying another lake with your watercraft? Please make sure to clean it off, even stopping first to use the machine at Spirit Lake public landing (off of CR 28 on weekends) to spray with water to remove any possible AIS (invasive species) before returning to Lone Lake. Many area lakes have zebra mussels and other assorted invasive species, Farm Island and Mille Lacs included.

Thank you in advance for keeping everyone safe on Lone Lake.
