Volunteers who placed channel-marker buoys at the east end of Lacamas Lake at the Heritage Park boat ramp last weekend changed their plans about where the red and green markers would go.
Lou Kobet, who coordinated the project with the help of the local Sea Scouts’ Deja Vu unit and the Marine Patrol unit of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, said “the buoys were placed into the lake with ‘Red on Right when going from the boat ramp to the lake.’ This deviates from our original plan to have ‘Red on right when returning from the lake to the boat ramp.’”
Staying between the buoys may help boaters avoid banging up boats and propellers on the dog-leg rock channel as they head out west to the main part of the lake and back to the ramp.
“It’s been an issue for years and years and years,” said Deputy Todd Baker with the Marine Patrol.
