What are the rules for Swim Buoys?

The placement of buoys by homeowners is regulated and enforced by Georgia Power Company. Here are Georgia Power's guidelines regarding private swim buoys on Lake Burton. 

"Swim buoys...

• Are only permitted to be installed in/on Georgia Power lakes between Memorial Day and Labor Day 
• Must be located within 50 Feet of the shoreline and no further than the outreach of the existing shoreline structure
• Must not interfere with the legal flow of boat traffic 
• Must not have the appearance of state-enforced regulatory markers/buoys 
• Should not exceed 2 per lot 
• Should be secured to a “mobile” weight, heavy enough to keep the buoy in-place during the summer months, but light enough to remove or relocate to the shoreline or dock after Labor Day"
