-Update-
The County may now start allowing personal watercraft. See article in the Sun Sentinel.
—Our previous post—
The Palm Beach County Parks Department does not allow “personal watercraft” in the South County Regional Park. [Link to application removed from county website]. The term personal watercraft generally refers to Jet Skis, Sea-Doos and Wave Runners (all brand names), as well as other similar machines.
The speed limit on the lake is 30 mph. Enthusiasts may not be happy that they’re being excluded, but public perception of Jet Skis is that they are mostly used at speeds higher than 30 mph, with top speeds of 60 mph or faster.
It is not clear from the permit but one would hope that the ban does not apply to canoes, kayaks and other small boats without motors.
