Subject: No Wake Zone Buoys Installed – Rice Lake                                                                        June 30, 2011

Members,

The RLAA installed marker buoys on Rice Lake this weekend.  Two buoys were installed approximately 150’ from the east shoreline outside of the bay where the boat ramp is located.  Another buoy was installed about 150’ from the shorelines on the northeast side of the lake approaching the creek.  Attached is a picture of one of the buoys.  The State of Minnesota sets forth a recreational lake’s “No Wake Zone” be 150’ from the shoreline.  Please be courteous to lake owners and abide by these designated no wake zones and use the distance as a guide for complying with a no wake zone along all shorelines.

If you observe boat owners not complying with the 150’ limit please call 763-525-6216 to report the issue to the Hennepin County Water Patrol as a non-emergency incident. You can also send our Board of Directors an e-mail at [email-masked] for informational purposes only.

Thank you for your consideration while using our lake for recreational purposes.
