Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) For the purpose of regulating the speed
				and operation of vessel traffic on the St. Johns River in Lake, Seminole and
				Volusia Counties, Florida the following boating restricted areas are
				established. Coordinates used in the description of zone boundaries are
				referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The boating restricted
				areas exclude all associated tributaries, creeks, canals, backwaters, channels,
				boat basins and other waterways unless otherwise designated or specifically
				described for inclusion:

				associated channel at the south end of Lake George, bounded on the north by a
				line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the channel at the north end of
				the fender system and bounded on the southeast by a line drawn perpendicular to
				the centerline of the channel 1, 500 feet south and southeast of the south end
				of the fender system, as depicted in Drawing A.

4. SR 40 (Astor) Bridge: A Slow Speed Minimum
				Wake zone from shoreline to shoreline in the St. Johns River, bounded on the
				north by a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns River
				875 feet north of the north end of the fender of the SR 40 (Astor) Bridge and
				bounded on the south by a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St.
				Johns River 2, 125 feet south of the south end of the fender of said bridge, as
				depicted in Drawing D.
5. SR 44
				(Whitehair) Bridge: A Slow Speed Minimum Wake zone from shoreline to shoreline
				in the St. Johns River, bounded on the north by a line drawn perpendicular to
				the centerline of the St. Johns River 2, 375 feet northwest of the northwest
				end of the fender of the SR 44 (Whitehair) Bridge and bounded on the south by a
				line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns River 1, 025 feet
				south of the south end of the fender of said bridge, as depicted in Drawing
				E.
6. Hontoon Island State Park: A
				Slow Speed Minimum Wake zone from shoreline to shoreline in the St. Johns
				River, bounded on the north by a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of
				the St. Johns River 4, 025 feet northeast of the confluence of the Hontoon Dead
				River and the St. Johns River and bounded on the southeast by a line drawn
				perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns River 1, 950 feet southeast of
				said confluence, as depicted in Drawing F.
7. Highbanks Boat Ramp:
A Slow Speed Minimum Wake zone from shoreline to shoreline in
				  the St. Johns River, bounded on the north by a line drawn perpendicular to the
				  centerline of the St. Johns River 450 feet north of the centerline of Highbanks
				  Boat Ramp and bounded on the south by a line drawn perpendicular to the
				  centerline of the St. Johns River 350 feet south of the centerline of said boat
				  ramp, as depicted in Drawing G.
8. Lake Monroe: A Slow Speed Minimum Wake
				zone from shoreline to shoreline in the St. Johns River, bounded on the west by
				a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns River 1, 075 feet
				west of the west end of the CSX Railroad Bridge fender and bounded on the
				southeast by a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns
				River 125 feet east of the east end of the I-4 Bridge fender, to include Lake
				Monroe Park Basin, as depicted in Drawing H.
9. Lemon Bluff:
A Slow Speed Minimum Wake zone from shoreline to shoreline in
				  the St. Johns River, bounded on the northeast by a line drawn perpendicular to
				  the centerline of the St. Johns River at the northeast tip of the unnamed
				  island (located at approximate latitude 28º 48.394' North, approximate
				  longitude 81º 7.799' West) southeast of Lemon Bluff Boat Ramp, and bounded
				  on the south by a line drawn perpendicular to the centerline of the St. Johns
				  River 250 feet northwest of the southern tip of said unnamed island (located at
				  approximate latitude 28º 48.282' North, approximate longitude 81º
				  7.806' West), as depicted in Drawing I.
