The Lake Gaston Water Safety Council has updated its information signs to reflect the new North Carolina and Virginia boating regulations. The signs also list the locations where free loaner child-sized life vests are available. The life vests have been placed at nine marinas and businesses around the lake.
The large signs are posted at the lake's marinas and public launch ramps where they can be easily seen by to boaters.
Several subdivisions have been given signs to post at their community launch ramps and docks.
The signs specify current boating safely regulations and lists the pertinent ages and requirements for boaters to be in compliance with state laws.
