[QUOTE="Jim-Iowa, post: 140624, member: 3209"] Yeah it's true on State owned and many County lakes. The Exceptions are the Great Lakes area of NW Iowa(Okeboji, Spirit Lake Etc) Private Lakes and Federal impoundments. You can operate any motor, but no wakes. There are also many lakes under 100 acres where Electric only is the law. The Lake I grew up on Rock Creek Lake is 640 acres and was limited to 6 hp until they changed it to no wake. I have a friend who was fishing on that lake in a 12 ft Jonboat and some joker cranked on his 75 hp and the wake swamped him and his wife in 20 ft of water. This was back in the 70's and his boat went straight to the bottom. [/QUOTE]
