There is a man made lake behind our homes incase of fire. There is four of us who's property's go across to the other side of this lake. Every summer it's the same thing. We keep asking the people two houses down not to canoe or sail their sail boat down in front of our back yard. The lake is not that big. Who wants to see these people in your yard when you come home from work to relax on your deck. This is getting old every summer. What can we do to finally put a stop to this.

Good grief. What's the point of buying a place on a lake if one is not planning to utilize it?

Your objection is SEEING people out on the water canoeing? Why is that objectionable? Hell, I'd be out on the lake or pond in the summer if I lived on one. I'm across form Lake Michigan and it's too rough and cold to enjoy that way.

Is there any deed restriction that prohibits such use?

**A: you can shoot the canoes so they sink.

Skeet shooting trap release in the direction of the lake. Then a few well-placed clay pigeons and a blast from a double-barrel 40-ott should cure the problem.

Of course, you could miss and hit a boater, That may cause you some legal inconvenience.

AS would skeet shooting if your county prohibits the discharge of a firearm within county limits.

**A: legal? How about some pain or even death inconvenience?

what to do II New Jersery

Just to let you know this is not like a Lake Michigan. There is only four (4)
homes along this lake or pond. Which is about 500 ft. long & 50 ft. wide if that. All four of our property's go to the other side. It was initally dug for a water source for fires. Our deed shows our land over on the other side with stone markers. Seems the neighbors want to be warm & fuzz, that is until someone ends up getting hurt or drowning. I guess that makes all four of us liable. Is no trespassing signs enough to cover us? We all know how everyones sue happy these days.

If your property and that of your neighbors completely encompasses the lake, then call the police the next time this occurrs and file trespassing against these idiots. Plain and simple.

To answer you nextwife:

quoted from the original post: We keep asking the people two houses down not to canoe or sail their sail boat down in front of our back yard

Sounds to me like if the property on which the water sits is not your property, you are going to have to live with it.

Nothing a couple of gators would not solve.

Or purchasing a boat with a very loud, very annoying motor and using it to frog gig at midnight...
