Lake Limerick Lake Patrol

⛵ What Is the Lake Patrol?

The Lake Limerick Lake Patrol is a community volunteer effort: The patrol operates from mid‑April to late October and is staffed by members who volunteer to monitor boating activity. It’s not a law enforcement or security force, but a friendly safety presence on the water.

Purpose & Focus: The Lake Patrol mission is to ensure compliance with Lake Rules and Safety Guidelines, educate boaters, and promote safe recreational use. The emphasis is on helping rather than enforcing.

🚤 Responsibilities & Duties

  • Boat Monitoring: Lake Patrol cruises the lake to make sure boaters understand the rules—such as proper speed, wake limits, and guest responsibilities.
  • Assist Boaters: If someone is unsure about the rules or has a minor issue, patrol volunteers provide guidance or help.
  • Guideline Enforcement: While not empowered to fine or detain, patrol members can explain violations and report persistent issues to LLCC Lake Dam Committee or management.

📋 How to Join or Get Involved

  • Volunteer Qualifications: Specific guidelines and procedures are outlined in LLCC’s “Lake Patrol Guidelines” document.
  • Sign-Up Process: Interested members should contact the LLCC office or attend the monthly Lake Dam meeting (first Saturday of each month) to learn more.
  • Seasonal Schedule: Patrols run from mid-April through October, aligning with peak boating months.

📌 Additional Boating Info at Lake Limerick

  • Boat Registration: All vessels that must be registered with the state must also be registered with LLCC before use on the lake—unregistered boats may be asked to leave.
  • Boater Education: Lake usage rules cover speed limits, equipment requirements, and the diverse recreational activities allowed—including water skiing, kayaking, and fishing.
  • Launch Sites: There is a public launch at the south end and member‑only launches at three park beaches, all regulated by state permits and lake rules. See the Boating Page for more information.
