Several bodies of water won't allow the float tubes because they associate tubes with skin contact in the water. Others allow tubes but with waders only.
One of my favorite lakes here in SoCal, Castaic, has a main lake, a forebay and an afterbay or Lagoon as it is best known for.
The Lagoon is the only part that they allow tubers but we must wear waders at all times since they say that the whole lake is a watershed.
They do allow swimming in the Lagoon.[crazy]
The main or upper lake, is where all the boats and PWCs are allowed. Oil spills and leaks are common in that area of the lake but nothing is implied to them about the watershed issue even though the water from the upper lake feeds the Lagoon.[pirate]
The forebay to the lake is the pure water (no boats, no tubes, no swimming, no fishing and no access) part of the water shed. The other 2 bodies of water drain into a river system that goes 61 miles away to the ocean.
Many of the other water shed lakes that don't allow tubers, do allow oil spilling boats in there. Go figure.[pirate]
