I was looking at rules for Grand. Do y'all have to idle/no wake all the way out of duck creek? Seems like that could take awhile.

Here is is on their web site:

OFFICIAL DUCK CREEK
TRAFFIC RULES
As of May 7, 2005, the following lake rules apply for the Duck Creek area on Grand Lake.


All watercraft which exceeds 8.5 feet in width or 30 feet in length, shall operate at “No Wake.”


“No Wake” vessels shall stay to the right allowing all other traffic clear and safe travel right of the center lane buoys.


All other vessels shall operate at planing speed not to exceed 30 MPH. Vessels must be on plane or move to right producing no wake. This is to minimize wave action and also keep down congestion in lanes which will limit stop and go and causing more wave action.


All vessels will operate to the right of buoys going in and coming out. All vessels when moving at a speed greater than no wake will remain 150 feet from docks and shoreline.


Beginning May 1 and ending October 31, a “No Wake” zone shall be in effect each night beginning at official sunset and ending at official sunrise.


Over the 4th of July weekend, all vessels in Duck Creek must operate at “No Wake” round the clock (all day, all night). The 2005 4th of July weekend will begin at sunset Friday night and end at sunrise Wednesday morning.


Definition of wake: “Wake” means the track of waves left by a vessel or other object moving through the water and such waves are greater than the natural waves in the immediate area of the vessel or are cresting and showing white water or may cause injury to any person or property.

That's the info I was looking at. Is that cove really crowded or what? We were planning to come up there last july for Grand Slam but canceled when it canceled. We have some friends who live in Grove and were thinking of coming up there sometime this summer. Whenever I go somewhere un familiar I like to check things out. Looks like a WAY fun lake.

I saw a little flyer this past weekend... they are making all of Duck Creek a no wake zone starting in the afternoon on Tuesday July 3...

So be careful.... a ticket isnt the fun way to start the holiday.

It is a very crowded cove on this weekend. Especially when they the boats start anchoring to watch the fireworks. Over $100K on the fireworks this year with an air show leading up with like almost 30 different planes that will be buzzing the cove for an hour or so. Including F-16s and a lot of old war planes. It should be a great show.

Duck should be no wake for all boats every day. The spook that set up those rules should be shot.

Are you entering your new boat in the Antique Boat Parade?

LMAO!!!!

I agree with that one for sure.
