Note on Lake Capacity
Each day, the LA County Sheriff's office sets a maximum number
of boats that can be safely launched on Pyramid Lake at any one
time. These limits are typically 50 jet skis and 150
boats, though these limits vary based on a number of conditions.
Once these lake limits are hit, which can occur very early on
busy weekend day, boats and jet skis will only be allowed to
enter Emigrants Landing when one leaves.
