Tahoe boating rules to be enforced this season
By Jeff Delong, Reno Gazette-Journal
Boaters zooming too close to the shores of Lake Tahoe take notice — officials are poised this summer to start getting serious about enforcing rules to slow them down.
With the boating season soon to commence, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency plans to enforce a 600-foot no-wake zone at the alpine lake. The move, part of the agency’s newly adopted “blue boating” program, is viewed as a means to reduce boating noise, protect wildlife and enhance public safety.
“We want to try and get it under control,” Dennis Zabaglo, the agency’s watercraft program manager, said of speeding boats venturing too close to Tahoe’s shore.
