Ignorance of rules & laws...

Those are sit inside kayaks! Or Redneck bass boats as I call them. I wouldn't put them in boat or kayak group. But I see your point.

Not disagreeing with you but definitions may vary between a dictionary and municipality. Would have to check the ordinance to see what it actually includes.

For example if you look at the definition of a firearm In the dictionary it will only include actual guns thar use gun powder where most ordinaces will also include air powered like pellet guns, Bows and slingshots

Googled ordinance...didn't find anything. I may contact the township and ask. Its possible. If I were a boater, I would wonder what reasons(s) they have not to allow them other than safety or maybe preserving aesthetic quality.

A lot of times, it's because there's no easy ramp for a rescue team to launch. That's the same reason supposedly Clark Resevoir has never allowed any boaters even though we've heard conflicting rules about that place for the last few years now.

Per the township via email response:

Good morning,

Please see attached ordinance XVII. Page 4 contains the relevant ordinance.

It reads:
17-1.1a- No person in a public park or recreational facility shall
25. Bring into, or operate any boat, raft or other water craft, upon any waters.

Unfortunately that restriction applies to all watercraft, including canoes and kayaks.

Regards

The entire list of rules is quite detailed. Here's another one:

Hunt, frighten, kill, trap, pursue, chase, tease, or shoot or throw missiles, remove, or have in his possession any animal, reptile or bird; or knowingly buy, receive or have in his possession, sell or give away any such animal, reptile, bird, or eggs so taken.

Damn I really want to throw missiles at the geese and tease the frogs. lol

Thanks for the info - what's odd is for them having so many rules, at the other lake there are no signs whatsoever - a complete absence.

23. Allow himself to be so covered by a bathing suit as to indecently expose his person.

If you do contact the town, please post their response, I have similar questions about another lake in that township.
