Statewide rules that apply here

A personal watercraft is defined by its internal-combustion engine, so PWCs can't be used where those engines are banned.

58 Pa. Code §109.3(a)(1) · Verified Oct. 4, 2026 · re-checked Nov. 1, 2026

Read the exact wording
(1) Uses an internal combustion motor powering a water jet pump as its primary source of motive propulsion.

Chapter 111 bans gas motors here. Our sources do not list this lake as Fish and Boat Commission or DCNR water, so the statewide electric slow, no-wake rule (§107.2(1.1)) is not shown as applying; the statewide 100-foot slow, no-wake rule still applies.

We did not find a public access point for this lake in our sources. The rules still apply to anyone boating here.
