Hauser Lake No Wake Speed Designation

brian plonka

I have been watching the trees along my 100 feet of beach losing all soil/rock now roots are exposed and the trees WILL die as the waves work their way to the road

Please do whatever we can do to save our lake!!!

Wakes and espe ially aggressive boaters have gotten way out of hand on Houser. I've been injured while shore fishing by wakes moving very large rocks and can't even trust putting a kayak in the water there anymore from wreckless power boats through their ignorance or malevolence. These high speed/wake boating enthusiasts have larger bodies if water to enjoy in the area without risking so many other people's safety.

The lake is too small for big boats. The noise is more than annoying. It should be for fishermen and smaller boats. Big boats should be on big lakes.

Please help keep Hauser Lake a gem of North Idaho!

Needs tried so the lake can heal. Revisit in a year and possibly ban certain watercraft that is causing the damage.

As a Hauser resident I want to save this lake and preserve the lake from the environmental impacts the huge wakes cause and the noise pollution of these boats

I kayak on Hauser Lake and want its water quality to be protected.

I've been a Hauser resident for 19 years, I miss the old days when we showed respect in our small community.

Plus it would be nice if the use of water had a higher price for motorized boats. WA has that so they come to Idaho.

I spend a great deal of time on the shore of Hauser lake in the summer. I’m not as annoyed with loud boats or wakes but I am concerned about the increased amounts and earlier arrival of algae. It cut me and my pups summer water time short. I’d be interested to see the results of this study to see if it can make any difference.

I support implementing a no-wake speed designation on Hauser Lake as a practical measure to mitigate shoreline erosion, reduce sediment resuspension, and limit structural impacts to docks and nearshore infrastructure caused by wake energy. High-wake vessel traffic accelerates bank degradation, increases turbidity, and can negatively affect aquatic vegetation and habitat stability. A no-wake zone would help preserve shoreline integrity, maintain water quality, and improve overall safety for recreational users by minimizing unpredictable wave action in confined areas. This is a reasonable approach that balances recreational use with long-term environmental and property protection.

Give it try See if it works. You have nothing to lose
