Boating
Whether you're fishing at sunrise, enjoying an afternoon cruise, paddling the shoreline, or towing water sports, boating is one of the best ways to experience Lakes Rescue and Pauline. Practicing safe boating helps protect everyone on the water and preserves the enjoyment of our lakes for residents and visitors alike.
The information below provides important boating safety tips, Vermont regulations, and local guidance to help you have a safe and enjoyable day on the lake.
A tremendous responsibility for boaters is guarding the safety of those who are swimming or in slow moving boats, such as canoes, kayaks, and sailboats. Keep in mind that boats without power have the right of way. Tubing and water skiing are not an excuse for reckless driving.

- When two (2) boats are approaching each other, each boat shall bear to the right and pass other boat on the left side. Boats without power have right-of-way. This a both a Vermont state and Federal law.
- Slow-wake buoys have been placed in some areas. Fast boating inside these markers is dangerous and prohibited by Vermont law, which states that boats within 200 feet of shore, dock, swim area, person in water and other vessels or anchorage, must travel at less than five miles per hour and must not create a wake.
- Make complaints and report violations to State Police at (802) 234-9933
