Registering Your Boat Before putting it in Cory Lake:
As per the Cory Lake Isles Deed Restrictions, all boats on Cory Lake including canoes, kayaks, etc. must be registered with the POA and issued a CL #. This number must be prominently displayed on both the starboard and port side of the boat on the bow and must be clearly visible to passersby and people on the shore at all times.
Speed Limits, No Wake Zones, Dock Lights, Noise Regulations and Spinning, Sliding, Racing and other unsafe operation for boats on COD’ Lake:
General Safety Regulations
As per Florida law, maneuvering a boat or personal watercraft by weaving through congested vessel traffic, jumping the wake of another vessel unreasonably close or when visibility around the vessel is obstructed, or swerving at the last possible moment to avoid collision is classified as reckless operation of a vessel (a first-degree misdemeanor).
As per 12.4g “Safety is a top priority for the resident using Cory Lake. Any person demonstrating a lack of respect for safety while operating a boat or water vehicle on Cory Lake may be fined and may have their right and privilege to operate a boat or water vehicle on Cory Lake suspended for a period of not to exceed (3) years.”
Safe operation of a boat on Cory Lake is defined as operating the boat in control at all times. This means the sliding out on turns, spinning, jumping wakes, speeding, racing and other “tricks” involving boats is not permitted under any circumstances.
Speed Limits:
MOST OF CORY LAKE IS A NO-WAKE ZONE (minimum speed to maintain steerage as per Florida Law – not 5mph!) This includes the area on the ski lake between the orange buoys and the shore. There is some confusion on Cory Lake about what NO- WAKE means. Many people are under the impression that it means 5 MPH, or minimal wake. By the standard of Florida Law (which applies on Cory Lake) it really means “a minimum speed that will maintain steerageway.” (I’ve attached a copy of Florida law with that portion highlighted.) We interpret that as DEAD SLOW with no visible movement of water behind the watercraft.
There is a good reason for these No- Wake Zones. Among them are our environment, lake erosion and consideration for neighbors.
• MAXIMUM SPEED ON THE SKI LAKE IS 35 MPH.
Florida law requires that all vehicles operating on a body of water within ½ hour of dawn or dusk display bow and stern running lights and be operated at a NO WAKE speed.
Dock Lighting:
Every dock in Cory Lake was approved with the condition that the owner mounts one 110 volt light, with light sensor on the dock. A photo of the generally accepted light is attached. This light can either be mounted on a single pool on land near the dock, or on the dock post. Two lights can also be mounted on dock posts. A 60 watt bulb that will burn all night is suggested. Cory Lake is very dark at night. These lights are required for safety reasons. Solar Lighting does not meet this requirement.
Noise Regulations:
Boats and water vehicles must not exceed noise levels of eighty (80) decibels on adjacent land. Should any boat or water vehicle exceed the maximum allowable noise level of eighty (80) decibels, the boat or water vehicle shall not be operated on Cory Lake until a muffler system to meet the requirements has been installed. Spinning out, jumping wakes, doing doughnuts, and causing the engine to whine out will cause noise in excess of 80 decibels and is prohibited.
Skiing and Towing:
Skiing and Towing are limited to the Ski Lake. No vehicle may have ANYTHING UNDER TOW on the no wake part of the lake. Residents living off the ski lake must transport their towables and passengers in their craft to the Ski Lake.
All vehicles towing a skier or tuber or any passenger or person behind the vehicle must have a spotter in addition to the driver of the boat. The spotter must be old enough to recognize that a skier or tuber or other person under tow is in trouble or danger.
Regulations regarding staging, kind of towing and skiing (no tricks, etc) are detailed in the Deed Restrictions .
Hours: The hours during which Skiing and Towing are allowed is regulated as follows:
May thru August – 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
September thru April – 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving – 1 :00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Vehicles Permitted on Cory Lake:
For more complete descriptions see the Deed Restrictions:
Boat size, type, number etc.:
Boats on Cory Lake cannot be longer than 18 feet. No more than two boats are permitted per household.
Special rules concerning Jet Skis and Personal Watercraft:
Personal Watercraft (a.k.a. Jet Skis) are permitted on Cory Lake at the discretion of the Property Owners Association. For the purposes of understanding the Deed Restrictions that apply to these particular vehicles the Board considers the following:
1) Jet Skis are treated the same as Ski Boats with a Skier or Tuber in tow and so are subject to the same hour restrictions as per 12.16 (k):
May thru August – 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
September thru April – 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Christmas. Easter, Thanksgiving – 1 :00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
2) Jet Skis are subject to the same noise restrictions as all other boats and water vehicles. As per 12.4 C :
Boats and water vehicles must not exceed noise levels of eighty (80) decibels on adjacent land. Should any boat or water vehicle exceed the maximum allowable noise level of eighty (80) decibels, the boat or water vehicle shall not be operated on Cory Lake until a muffler system to meet the requirements has been installed. Jet skis which are operated to jump wakes, do tricks, spin in circles, do doughnuts and other “trick” maneuvers which cause the engine to “whine” out, generate noise in excess of one hundred (100) decibels and up to one hundred and fifteen (1 15) decibels. This noise level is unacceptable on Cory Lake and so the intentional commission of these acts is also unacceptable on Cory Lake. The overall Cory Lake Deed Restrictions as per 11.11 (a) provide that each Owner shall refrain from engaging in or permitting others to engage in any act or use of the Owner’s Lot or Dwelling Unit, Common Property or any other Property within Cory Lake Isles which could reasonably cause embarrassment, discomfort, annoyance or nuisance to others in the neighborhood. The noise of Jet Skis “whining” out causes annoyance and nuisance as well as physical discomfort. Experts believe that damage to hearing occurs when noise levels are higher than 85 decibels, which is about the loudness of heavy traffic. The risk of hearing loss increases as the noise becomes louder. Length of exposure is important too. For example, it is not recommended to listen to noises of 109 decibels for any longer than two minutes at a time. In addition all other Cory Lake Isle Deed Restrictions and Florida Laws apply on Cory Lake.
