How we build these guides
We only use official sources: lake authorities and commissions, state agencies such as CT DEEP, NYSDEC, the NJ State Police and MA DCR, and town or city codes. We do not list fee amounts. If a fact such as a horsepower limit is not on an official page, the guide says it was not found rather than guessing. See something out of date? Suggest a correction.
