Hey Northern Illinois Boaters
 

I am thinking of going on a trip to Lake Delevan, WI.

How big is the lake?
Horsepower limit
speed limit
Restaraunts
bars
good places to launch

Not very big. You would be better off on the Chain-O-Lakes. Alot more to do. Just dont bring your favorite props.

small
 

bring youre fishing pole , lake geneva bigger and has alot of places to stop at cold water though

1) extra props
2) more extra props

Delavan is pretty small and can get VERY crowded. Lake Geneva has a speed limit...I'm pretty sure it's like 35 mph...but it's 7 miles long.

I was staying on the lake for summer sales meetings a few summers back and took the Mastercraft up for the kids during the day and it was rough, colddddddddd, and not a lake for go-fasts. My mastercraft actually had the Corvette motor in it and I was told to be careful and watch my speeds.

I would not bother. Go to Lake Michigan. The Chain is NO WAKE because of the high water and floating debris. I have watched telephone poles floating by.

Thanks for all the info!

I know years back it used to be 45 during the week, and 35 on the weekend. I got a speeding ticket on a wave runner there back in the 80's.:rolleyes: Last time I'll ever go there.:mad:

What about Lake Delevan though?
