South Carolina passed a law requiring a 200 foot distance from docks for any power boats. One of my neighbors is the CEO of Friends of Lake Keowee Society, his group plus several local legislators were instrumental in getting this pushed through. Our lake has been swarmed with tubers, wakeboaders, wake surfers in the past 10 years. It was getting dangerous as many of these new residents have 0 boating experience or etiquette. In any case our 18,500 acre lake is now more peaceful. When I built my home here in 2003 you could long line barefoot all day Saturday or Sunday. Now not so much.
i believe the 200 foot law will be commonplace as time goes by and people are tired of having their docks and shoreline destroyed. I ski on private lakes exclusively now.
