I don't what the rule is for no wake zone in NC is. There are 2 landings on High Rock ( Wildlife #8 and Buddle creek ) that are located in a narrow cove that have no wake buoys and people go wide open on the opposite side of the buoy. I am surprised there hasn't been more people hurt or worse in buddle creek . I have been on lakes in Va where you have to idle to the main lake when you put in a cove like these.
