I see a boat launching ramp next to the hotel.
I DON'T see any "No Trespassing" signs at the lake.
If I wanted to launch my canoe or kayak on the lake, who would I contact for permission. What about jet skis, row boats with outboard motors, etc.?
I imagine law enforcement on the lake would come under the jurisdiction on the FWC, or the Sumter County Sheriff.
Thanks for all the comments, and thanks Gracie, for the kind words.  |
I was under the impression that any body of water adjacent to or connecting to a public right of way could be accessed and used legally. Apparently I'm wrong or was just intimidated. A bud and I put my canoe on the lake using the hotel boat ramp, we made it down to Cody's when the "Crusise boat" personnel asked to see our permit and if we did not have one we were trespassing and must leave. We left and then I went to the Rec center and asked for a permit. Was told to forget it as no permits were being given out. It would be a beautifully canoe or kayak facility that many of us could enjoy. Too bad many of the post on this subject missed the objective of the original post.
