Couldn't find any thing official ... But WBL is still 3 feet down.
Shouldn't be any restrictions ...

There should not be a "no wake" restriction on WBL, but the speed limit is 35 MPH.  That is why I never test props on the week end. There may be many boaters that have the same idea of boating after the show. Not the best time to test props in my opinion.

Bring the boat out to WBL during a week day. I have Tues and Thurs off from work, and Jim B said he would help out. Joe might want to come out too to test props and boat.

It appears there are 4 flavors of "No Wake".   

a)- No wake within 150 feet of shore.
b)- No wake within 300 feet of shore.
c)- No wake within 600 feet of shore.
d)- No wake anywhere.

We have d out here.  You need to have your contractors measure tape in the boat at all times.

We were out on the lake Sat and it is up at least 2-3 ft from last fall. and if they add another 2 or 3 it will be close to normal water height
I think this has become an addiction.

We were planning on putting in Sat after the show, as long as the weather cooperates. May be for a short time.

I have the GT160 ready for the show, but I have to get the motorhome and Winner down and running. We're going to Ortonville for the 4th. Big Stone is up, but no restrictions. We're not taking 2 boats. Maybe the second week in July will look better.

 I launched on Sat at 12:30 and launch was full and no Truck/trailer parking left. I had to launch the boat and bring the truck and trailer back to my house. You would all be welcome to do that if you would like. If is nice I will probably launch in the morn and then drive the boat over. Or park the boat on my access and then drive the car over. The lake is up now so you could buy a pass and use the Manitou launch. its a nicer launch and less people, but it was pretty shallow last time I used it. That was 2 yrs ago though.

Getting worse. Entire Hudson boat ramp, parking lot, and part of the street is under water. Bridge you can usually drive under no longer looks like a bridge. Boating on the croix for the 4th is not looking good....
