The Grand River Dam
Authority is announcing some additional modifications to the new rules for
boat operations in Duck Creek. The new rules, which went into effect prior
to Memorial Day weekend are as follows
(the latest modifications appear in italics):
• All watercraft legally trailerable (8.5 feet
in width or less) and/or watercraft 30 feet or less in length, shall
operate at a planing speed not to exceed 30 MPH. Boats must be up on
plane or go slow, producing minimum wake.
• All other watercraft shall operate at slow
speed, producing minimum wake.
• All watercraft must stay to the right of the
buoys, and at least 150 feet away from docks and shore.
• Beginning May 1 and ending October 1, a no
wake zone shall be in effect each night between 8:30 PM and 6:30 AM.
• Over the 4th of July weekend, all
watercraft in Duck Creek must operate at slow speed, minimum wake
round-the-clock (all day, all night).
