I found this great tool to clearly identify the No Wake areas in the county. There has been a lot of discussion about what the legal no wake areas are on the Grand River up from Grand Haven. This map helps. I was surprised to see that Duck Lake didn't have any daytime restrictions and you can move right along in the channel from Lake Michigan.

Be patient, it takes a bit to load.


Any other counties have this sort of clarification?

Yes, but you can't even get a dinghy through Duck Lake channel. Water is a foot deep or less.

I was thinking the same thing. A little trim up, keep it on plane, no problem right?

We can let St. Louis Dave try it first, and then report back how it went. :lol:
