All rules for Lake Redman
Gas motors may not be run; electric and unpowered boats may be used, even with a gas motor attached.
Read the exact wording
The operation of internal combustion motors is prohibited, but boats propelled by electric motors and nonmechanically propelled boats may be used either with or without internal combustion motors attached.
No towing of anything except trolling devices.

Read the exact wording
(iv) Surfboards, except for rescue purposes. (v) Pontoon boats.
No novelty craft, no craft not built for transportation, and inflatables only if 7 feet or longer with two or more air chambers.
Read the exact wording
(i) Inflatable boats except those which are at least 7 feet in length, made of durable, reinforced fabric and have at least two separate buoyancy chambers exclusive of any inflatable floor or bottom. (ii) Novelty type craft. (iii) Watercraft not constructed or sold for the primary purpose of being used as a means of transportation on the water.
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.
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.
