NEW NO WAKE & NO ALCOHOL ZONES
ON KENTUCKY LAKE
by Steve McCadams
 

Boaters are advised of two additional “No Wake” zones which will be established and enforced beginning Saturday, May 20, on the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge.

Also, “No-Alcohol” zones will be in place around an area of the Big Sandy Peninsula locally known as “Budweiser Beach” in Henry County and around Cub Creek Island in Decatur County. Signs designating “No Alcoholic Beverages” will be in place as well as buoys marking these no alcohol zones.

All boaters within these zones with alcohol in their possession will be in violation.

The refuge regrets the necessity of creating additional regulations for visitors, but increasing law enforcement problems in these areas have prompted this decision. The refuge manager encourages people to use and enjoy the refuge, but only in a safe way that protects the public, the
wildlife resources, and habitat.

Federal, state, and local law enforcement officers will be on the lookout for violations of these and other resource protection and public safety regulations to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable visit to the refuge. Anyone with questions is welcome to call the refuge office at
642-2091.
