In addition to the Marine Safety Act, Lake Angelus has adopted its own set of ordinances and rules to assure enjoyment of the Lake in a safe manner. Lake Angelus has an excellent safety record, and we would urge all boaters to observe the Lake Angelus ordinances and rules in an effort to maintain the good record. The following are the Lake Angelus rules:
-
All boats powered by diesel, two-cycle, or outboard internal combustion engines are prohibited.
-
All powerboats must be maintained and operated in such a manner as to avoid excessive noise, smoke or fumes which would be objectionable to a person of ordinary sensibilities and so to avoid the leaking or discharge of oil or fuel into the waters of the lake.
-
The racing of powerboats is prohibited.
-
No boats shall be used for commercial purposes.
-
It is unlawful to operate any vessel in excess of a slow, no-wake speed within 200 feet of any shore, dock, raft, marked or occupied swimming area, or any other vessel moored at anchor, except when water skiers are being picked up or dropped off with due regard for the safety of persons or property in an otherwise lawful manner.
-
Power driven water sleds, jet skiers, miniature powerboats, racing boats, houseboats, and other vessels intended primarily for recreational use and not for conventional water transportation are prohibited.
-
No power driven boat shall be operated in excess of a slow, no-wake speed after one hour before sunset or 8:00 p.m., whichever is earlier, and before one hour after sunrise or 9:00 a.m., whichever is later.
-
No powerboat may be operated in excess of 35 miles per hour.
-
Lake Angelus residents are prohibited from allowing guests to launch boats onto the lake.
-
No kite boarding.
NOTE: In order to assure that all boaters have proper safety equipment on board, Michigan Law authorizes a police officer to inspect a boat for that purpose. Our officers will be performing these safety inspections periodically throughout the summer. If you or your guests are stopped, remember that the officers are doing their job. Please be courteous and co-operative, because the officers are instructed to courteous, fair and polite.
