Boat and Wake Safety Committee Best Practices
Members of lake association formed the Boat and Wake Safety Committee. The SECOLA Board charged the committee to de-velop educational, informational, and operational programs, including “Best Practices” covering wake safety and other identified areas where the increased popularity of overall boating on the Chain can create safety and operational conflicts among the many recreational lake users and property owners.
To that end the Committee developed and submitted and the board approved the following Wake Boat and General Operations Best Practices. These suggestions are not intended to replace Wisconsin State Law or the responsibility of operators to know those laws and rules. Operators should always make situational decisions while on the water, even if counter to these best practic-es, to maintain safety.
Please read and periodically review both the Wisconsin Boaters Guide as well as these Best Practices. Also, please be sure guests are aware of the special situations on our Chain of Lakes, even if they are experienced boaters. If you have any questions or con-cerns the Committee welcomes your input.
Thank you for enjoying our wonderful little resource, the Spread Eagle Chain of Lakes.
Enjoy yourselves and Boat Responsibly!
