Boating and Water Safety
HOBO promotes safe and courteous boating practices. Be mindful of your wake and its potential damage to shoreline and seawalls. Remember tubing safety relies primarily on the boat driver - the tube riders cannot control their direction. Boats pulling skiers have right-of-way over other boats.

Invasive Aquatic Plants
