Regulations governing watercraft operation on New Jersey’s largest lake are designed to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all users. These mandates encompass vessel registration, permissible activities, speed restrictions, and required safety equipment, varying based on location within the lake and time of year. An example includes specific speed limits enforced in designated coves to protect swimmers and shoreline areas.
Adherence to the guidelines promotes a secure environment for recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, and watersports. Observance minimizes the potential for accidents, property damage, and environmental harm. The establishment and enforcement of these measures have evolved over time, reflecting changes in lake usage patterns and technological advancements in boating. This ensures a continued commitment to boater safety and environmental stewardship.
