Boating - It's one of our favorite things to do. Please help keep all our residents safe. Watch out for swimmers and kayakers near our shorelines.
According to Michigan Law (see page 37 on the link below) there is a no wake rule within 100 feet of any dock, raft, moored or anchored vessel or marked swimming area. Our lake is narrow. Please observe the no wake law near docks to protect our shorelines and residents.
We also have a no wake rule from 8pm to 9am daily.
All boats should be registered at the office and have a Forest Lake sticker attached.
