Boat and Park Rules

Since Okeeheelee is a county park, everyone must follow park rules
to promote public safety. All boats must be USA
WaterSki approved and permitted through the Palm Beach County
Parks and Recreation Department. Permits must
appear on both boat and trailer.

P alm Beach County Okeeheelee Park Boat Permit

Please read the park rules thoroughly, but here are a
few tips for your time spent at Okeeheelee Ski Lakes and skier
etiquette

Rotation for lake use is determined by boat rotation not
skier.
If you are unsure if a person is up, just ask.
Please be ready and waiting on the back of your boat if
you are ready to ski.
This is a water ski site, no jet skis, fishing boats or other
recreational devices are permitted. If you see unsafe
practices, please call the park ranger at 561-252-1714.
If you are driving across any of the courses, please put
your boat in and out of gear to prevent any rollers.
If you are waiting to follow a skier down the main lake,
please keep a safe following distance of at least half
course.
When driving on main lake, drop your skier before the
boat docks. This will apply to leaving the area also, take
off after you have idled past the docked boats.

Are you ready to drive East West Lake?
East West Course (the lake along Forest Hill Blvd.) is the most difficult
to drive. Driving across this lake on the dock side to drop a skier can
result in sending rollers down the main lake. The best pattern is to
keep the bow of the boat facing main lake when dropping your skier
and not doing a turn at the end. Let the boat settle before turning.
Thank you
