What Does LKGWSC Do For You? Why Should You Become a Member?

Waterway under Eaton Ferry Bridge is now a no wake zone

No Wake Zone at Eaton Ferry Bridge

The Lake Gaston Water Safety Council (LGWSC) would like to remind you that the waterway under the Eaton Ferry Bridge is now a NO WAKE ZONE.

To increase boating safety at this location, buoys will be installed as soon as possible to designate a No-Wake Zone from shore-to-shore within 50 yards on each side of the bridge. In No-Wake Zones, vessels are required to travel at idling speed, creating no appreciable wake.

Monthly presentations on water safety

Unless otherwise noted, seven meetings are held the last Wednesday of each month during the boating season. The evening customarily commences with a "Social Half Hour" at 5:30, a "Dutch-treat" Dinner at 6 PM, followed by the Membership Meeting. Meetings are held at the Kennon House Restaurant, 7001 Gasburg Rd. (Rt. 626, ½ mile east of Pea Hill Creek), Gasburg, VA 23857; Phone: (434) 577-2680. The public is invited and welcome to attend!

It is customary to hold a Pig Pickin' for our September meeting.  

There are no meetings from October to February.
