​​

• Lake Summit has several “No Wake” zones and timeframes.  There are four coves marked as “No Wake” zones at all times.

• The entire lake is a “No Wake” zone on Sundays from 10:00am-12:15pm during the summer season.

• In an effort to protect the lake shore and property on the lake, the LSPOA also has high water restrictions that trigger a “No Wake” standard on the entire lake.  These restrictions have been necessary since the combination of high water and a boat wake causes potential damage to boat houses, sea walls and banks, boats inside their boathouses, and increases the likelihood of personal property being washed off the docks.

• In an attempt to find the appropriate balance point between recreational and property concerns, the LSPOA has set the “No Wake” standard if the lake water level is 99’ or higher.  

• We ask all LSPOA members, their families and guests to please abide by these “No Wake” restrictions.   

• LSPOA officers and staff will attempt to inform ALL registered and visiting boaters of this restriction.

• Property owners with renters are responsible for informing their tenants of the restrictions. 

• The lake level can be checked on the Green River website, https://greenrivernc.com/

• A gauge and flag has been installed at the boat ramp to notify GRFD residents or fishermen in the case of a wake restriction.
