ok. Does anybody know what the land that LU/TRBC owns that runs from Dunivan Dr to Sunnymead in Rustburg is going to be used for? They're putting up a gate it looks like. I'll accept answers from anybody.

What I heard (and it may purely be rumor), is that a couple of kids were riding ATVs back there and got hurt. So now, the view from my house will include poles and a wire cable fence.... lovely!

[JDUB]

I don't know exactly where that land is at, and this is complete speculation, but if it is having a trail cut on it they would gate it. Most of the trail entrances have gates on them so that is a possible explanation

[LUconn]

True. The atv story is possible too. There are a couple of kids that are always riding them back there.

So I guess it's confirmed that power boats are not allowed?

Powerboats are not allowed on the lake, he said, but residents often use it for boating with a battery-operated or trolling motor, and fishing.

[JDUB]

those are the current rules carried over from the previous owners. no changes have been made in the 5 days we have owned it

[Hold My Own]

Oh I thought they were speaking of Ivy Lake

[JDUB]

they are speaking of ivy lake. currently no power boats are allowed. that is not a city ordinance though, that was the rule by the owners. The new owners can set the rules to whatever they want or maintain the current rules

[Hold My Own]

Oh ok good...at one time it was believed by some they didnt have anything in place

So I may be able to buy a 5 HP engine for my jon boat?

[hurricane fan]

So I may be able to buy a 5 HP engine for my jon boat?

if it runs on 9 volt batteries

[JDUB]

maybe if you get a trolling motor and then paddle to add some speed you'd reach the equivalent of 5hp

[Hold My Own]

Come on guys you have to be creative...really really long rope and a ATV on the shore....duhhhhhhh!

[JDUB]

or a dune buggy

[Hold My Own]

indeed...I know someone

[matshark]

And I own a jon boat with a trolling motor!

and jim, having fished the lake previously (many years ago when i was a younger lad), i will be happy to help introduce you to the lake

btw, there are some very nice bass in there...
