The Ontario County Sheriff issued a "No Wake Order" for Honeoye Lake on Tuesday April 16th 2024 due to a very high-water level. Boaters are urged to not exceed 5 MPH. Sheriff's Facebook post is available on the link below:



The concern is that large boat wakes could damage docks that have been deployed that are either under or near the current lake level. See pictures above. Also, lake bank erosion is a concern.


We will regularly keep you posted on the lake level and the Sherriff's No Wake Order".
