OFFICIAL DUCK CREEK 
TRAFFIC RULES

As of May 7, 2005, the following lake rules apply for the Duck Creek area on Grand Lake.

  • All watercraft which exceeds 8.5 feet in width or 30 feet in length, shall operate at “No Wake.”

  • “No Wake” vessels shall stay to the right allowing all other traffic clear and safe travel right of the center lane buoys.

  • All other vessels shall operate at planing speed not to exceed 30 MPH. Vessels must be on plane or move to right producing no wake. This is to minimize wave action and also keep down congestion in lanes which will limit stop and go and causing more wave action.

  • All vessels will operate to the right of buoys going in and coming out. All vessels when moving at a speed greater than no wake will remain 150 feet from docks and shoreline.

  • Beginning May 1 and ending October 31, a “No Wake” zone shall be in effect each night beginning at official sunset and ending at official sunrise.

  • Over the 4th of July weekend, all vessels in Duck Creek must operate at “No Wake” round the clock (all day, all night). The 2005 4th of July weekend will begin at sunset Friday night and end at sunrise Wednesday morning.

  • Definition of wake: “Wake” means the track of waves left by a vessel or other object moving through the water and such waves are greater than the natural waves in the immediate area of the vessel or are cresting and showing white water or may cause injury to any person or property.
