​

• All motorized pleasure boat operators must carry a “Pleasure Craft Operator Card”. Visitors from the United States can use an equivalent State or US Coast Guard document as a substitute.  A “Pleasure Craft Operator Card” is not required for craft such as sailboats, kayaks and canoes.
• Be considerate of your neighbours – avoid circling (PWCs, wake jumpers, and tubers) in one area.
• Use common sense and be aware of the damage caused by boat wakes.
• When waterskiing, wakeboarding & tubing, depart at a right angle to the shore and maintain a minimum 30 meter distance from the shoreline. By law, the tow-boat(including PWCs) must carry a spotter and have an empty seat for each person being towed (to pick them up in case of a fall).
• Carry a cell phone on your craft.

Shown on the map, below, is the Moon Chutes. This is a special place for all residents and visitors.  Please exercise caution when boating through this narrow area.   If someone has entered the narrows please wait until they are completely through before entering the chutes.

 

The chutes and other speed restricted areas are highlighted in Yellow on this map.
