NOTE: "Towed equipment" applies to surfboarding and other types of towed equipment, as well as water skiing.

(1) Except on safe take-offs and landings, boats with skiers and other types of towed equipment must keep 200 feet or more from shore. If a safe landing as defined in these rules is not possible, skiers must be picked up by the boat before coming within the 200-foot-from-shore line and brought to shore under the established speed restrictions (5 MPH within 200 feet of shore). Boats towing skiers may exceed 5 MPH to the extent necessary to maintain the skiers in a skiing position within 200 feet from the shore line only when taking off or landing under safe conditions as outlined in this section. However, boats may not exceed the 5 MPH speed restriction, including the take-off and landing of skiers in tow, in the areas listed in section (2) of this rule:

(a) A "safe" take-off or landing with a skier in tow is accomplished by leaving or approaching the take-off or landing site within an arc which has its center at the take-off or landing site and which is not closer than 45 degrees out from the shore on either side. It is not a "safe" landing to approach a landing site parallel to the shore line. Take-offs and landings should be made in a counter-clockwise pattern. A take-off or landing will not be considered safe unless it can be accomplished without risk to the safety of any swimmers or other watercraft;

(b) No boat shall follow behind a skier closer than 300 feet, nor cross the towing boat less than 200 feet, nor alongside a skier closer than 100 feet.

(2) No person shall operate a motorboat at a speed in excess of 5 MPH in the following areas:

(a) Within 200 feet of the shore line (except under conditions authorized in section (1) of this rule);

(b) Within 200 feet of a marked swimming area;

(c) Within 200 feet of a launching ramp;

(e) East of a line from the point east of the Ochoco Boat Rentals across Ochoco Reservoir to a spot marked on the south side. Markers are identified as orange-colored and tripod shaped.

(f) Within the cove area where the Ochoco Boat Rentals moorage is located and designated by a buoy south of the moorage and an orange-colored tripod marker on the point of land east of the moorage;

(g) East of a line between two markers across the Prineville Reservoir at a point approximately 1/2 mile west of the entrance of Owl Hollow Creek. The shore markers are identified by their orange color and tripod shape.
