Woe is the solitary Lake Austin jet skier this weekend.
Just ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, Austin police announced a ban of all motorized personal watercraft on Lake Austin. Analog solo water travel, such as kayaks or canoes, is still allowed, according to police.
The ban starts at sunset Friday (8:26 p.m.) and runs until sunrise Tuesday (6:30 a.m.). It only applies to Lake Austin.
According to Austin police, “the annual ban of personal watercraft is necessary to ensure the safety of the large number of people that make use of the lake and parks over the Memorial Day holiday weekend,” a statement said Thursday.
Austin police said they will have lake cops out patrolling on Lake Austin, so be mindful. For more information, contact the APD Lake Patrol Unit at 512-329-8841, or check out this city-made video for lake safety tips.
