I totally agree with you MrShane. The distance requirement includes staying 150 feet from
Shore as well as boaters paddlers anglers etc. Up at Jordy they surf right next to the shore and way to close to other boats. I’ve seen paddle boarders get thrown off and I’ve come close to falling when a wave surprises me and I’m reaching out of my small boat to hook up to riggers. The wakes that travel much further than the minimum distance still have a lot of energy that absolutely erodes the shoreline and negatively impacts others. Yes they get to use the lake, but their activity impacts others to a much greater degree, than others doing their activity affects them. That’s the big difference!
Maybe they should consider making the entire river arm at Jordanelle wakeless. Many kayakers, paddle boarders and others launch at rock cliffs and stay in the arm to avoid the main lake.
