Lake Macatawa no-wake zones to be discussed
HOLLAND Lake Macatawa s three towns are again considering imposing temporary no-wake restrictions for the upcoming boating season.
Last year, following the passage of new legislation that allowed local governments to enact emergency watercraft control measures, the three municipalities around Lake Macatawa put in place a temporary expansion of existing no-wake zones.
The emergency no-wake zones were put in place to try to mitigate the damage to lakefront properties under the historically high lake levels last summer. Last year, Lake Michigan set water level records month after month, through August.
To impose temporary no-wake zones for a second year, the new state law requires that the municipalities be engaged in the process of seeking permanent no-wake zones.
