We are reminding boaters of two critical safety laws that help keep everyone on the water safe.
The 100-foot law requires boats to operate at idle speed within 100 feet of people, docks, other vessels, swimming areas, and shoreline structures.
The 200-foot law applies to wake surfing and wakeboarding and requires operators to stay at least 200 feet away from docks, people, and other structures.
These are not optional. Violations of these laws create serious risks and can result in preventable collisions, injuries, and property damage.
Game Wardens will be on patrol throughout the weekend and all summer long, and these laws will be enforced to protect everyone on Georgia waterways
