[li]Boats with four-stroke or direct fuel injection two-stroke combustion engines are allowed, as are two-stroke engines that comply with the California Air Resources Control Board 2001 or later model year spark-ignition marine engine standard (or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2006 equivalent). This rule will be strictly enforced and any questions regarding your engine compliance should be resolved prior to entrance into the park.
[li]Traditional carbureted two-stroke engines are not allowed.
[li]Only gasoline free of the additive MTBE is allowed on either lake. Boats containing MTBEladen gas will be turned away. Refueling is prohibited, except in designated areas.
[li]Boats equipped with sink drains or flush toilets are barred unless the drains and toilets are sealed, inoperable, or are designed so that no waste can be discharged into the lakes.
[li]Boats must be at least 12 feet long, 42 inches wide, and have 12 inches of freeboard at idle speed. Multi-hulled boats must have solid and fixed decking. Engine noise must not exceed 75 decibels at a distance of 50 feet with the engine running at 80 percent of redline RPM. All engines must be unmodified, standard equipment.
[li]Touring and recreation style kayaks, at least 10 feet long with seating for all passengers inside the boat, are allowed. No sit-on-top kayaks are allowed.
[li]All boats must carry approved life jackets for each person aboard. Type B fire extinguishers are required on boats where a fire hazard could be expected from the motors or the fuel system.
[li]Boat launching and landing is allowed only at designated docks and ramps.
[li]The lakes open at sunrise and close at sunset. Marina areas are closed one hour after sunset. There is no boat storage at Diamond Valley Lake.
[li]Metropolitan can close either lake to boating at any time and the number of boats allowed on the lake will be determined by lake elevation, public safety considerations and water quality concerns.
[li]The speed limit for all watercraft on Diamond Valley Lake is 25 mph. The maximum speed for boats within 200 feet of the shore, dams, other operational structures and in marina areas is 5 mph.
[li]The speed limit for all watercraft on Lake Skinner is 10 mph; the maximum speed for
boats within 100 feet of the shore, dams, other operational structures and in marina
areas is 5 mph.
[li]Pets are not allowed on boats on either lake unless you pet is a fish.[/li][/ol]
17. Fisherman using lake must shower and shave and wear a bow tie while fishing.
18. Fisherman are not allowed to touch the water at anytime. That means neither your feet or hands can touch, you will have to drag fish up on shore. All though the fish was in water you cannot rinse fish off. You will need to go to the bathroom to rinse fish off.
19. Fisherman using live bait will need to have it inspected to ensure the bait has not been compromised in anyway or held against it's will.
20. Fisherman will always yield to local wildlife, in the event a duck lands in front of your pole and you get a fish you will allow the duck to eat it and when he is done you can reel in.
21. Any fisherman that is found to be having to good a time will report to rangers station to be whiped with a fishing pole until you stop smiling.
22. In the event you do catch a fish the fish must be immediatley brought to some nerd so he can measure and ensure it is of proper length and doesn't mind being eaten, the nerd will mind meld with the fish to check this.
From 17 down were jokes. I hope everyone figured that out. My point is if there are that many rules how much fun is it going to be?
