“Slow, No Wake” buoys will be placed in and across the lake to mark the designated area of the temporary No Wake zone. Patrol boats will frequent the area to ensure safety/compliance. Following completion of the diver assessment and demobilization, the “No Wake” zone will be discontinued and normal boating patterns will resume.
Signs advising boaters of the Slow, No Wake zone will be posted for boaters at Seven Points Marina, the Lake Raystown Resort Marina, and at public boat launch access points along Raystown Lake.
