Boating Patterns

Please follow the boating patterns established in our Ginger Cove Rules:

VI. BOATING /A. GENERAL/5. Except for fishing boats traveling under 5 mph within 75 feet of shore, all traffic shall travel in a counterclockwise direction around the lake. Traffic on Skinny River shall only travel in a counterclockwise direction in respect to the island.

When you’re on the water, be aware of how your boating position affects others on the lake and follow these suggestions:

Always try to maintain a buffer of at least 100 feet from swimmers and other vessels.

When using your ballast with wakeboarders or wakesurfers, manage the impact of your waves:
- Monitor the depth and distance of where you are driving
- Stay in the center of the main lake where water depth is at least 20 feet deep
- Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from docks and shorelines to naturally dissipate the energy of your wakes before the waves reach the shore.

If you’re cruising in Skinny River, stay to the starboard (right) side so that those who are towing skiers and boarders can get around you safely
- DO NOT stop or slow down under or near the bridge.

Here are some maps to help you visualize these patters:
