Description:
Abstract:
This layer contains those lakes and streams as point features within Pennsylvania that have specifc special regulations related to boating as defined by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
Purpose:
Small scale mapping of areas with special boating regulations and to inform the boating public of the restrictions.
Supplemental_Information:
This layer was created by selecting the appropriate lakes based on the regulation definitions from the 1:24000 National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) water bodies layer and the appropriate sections of streams/rivers from the NHD flowing waters layer and copying them into new layers.  XTools Pro 3.1 was then used to create points at the centroids of each lake and stream/river.
