[cool][#0000FF]As a general rule, a lake is considered under state jurisdiction if it has one or more state parks somewhere around the perimeter. At least as it pertains to what happens ON the lake. Whenever there are private concessions or access points operated by city, county or other entities those operators usually set their own rules for whatever happens ashore but not on the main lake.
However, in spite of what a State Park may have in their regulations it is not that uncommon for folks to do whatever they want after going out from other concessions. There probably needs to be more review and discussion to better establish priority and jurisdiction.
Hard to agree with arbitrary restrictions that do not seem well thought out...especially if they hit you where you like to play.
Jeff Rasmussen advised me that they are doing some further review on some of the State Parks policies right now. If you have a good case to make, you can contact someone at the State Parks office and make your concerns known. Without input from the public (fee payors) they can't always be counted on to make decisions in our favor.
