@75Tique , I have a friend who also lives on a 150 acre very small lake and it’s a no sports/no wake lake. My friends love it that way, myself? I would never live in such a lake. We have a slalom course on our lake which I hold the permit to, it stays up 24/7, we ski early morning and know that after about 11am it’s done, usually pontoons and jet skiers start hitting the water. Then it’s our time to Jetski, hit the sand bar or even surf on friends boats and parasail on our own lake in Michigan, remember it’s a small 214 acre lake. We welcome jet skiers to run thru the course, we do it ourselves and have races to see who is the fastest. Is there times that buoys come off or fishermen get tangled in the cables? Yes, a few times a year, it’s all part of the course living on a public lake as well as a private lake, things happen and I expect that. So in the end you have to find a lake that suits you and your family, I don’t own a surf boat, but I do like to surf after skiing is over:)
