Shoreline Management Plans

Shoreline Management Plans help to ensure that the water area, shoreline and adjacent public land of Corps of Engineers projects are managed to protect the environment and scenic beauty of our lakes for future generations.  The plan achieves this by limiting private use of the federal resource as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 36, Chapter III, Part 327.

About the Plans and Maps

Shoreline Management Plans

Shoreline Management Plans deal with private boat docks, mowing permits, and other uses of government property.  The Shoreline Management Plan, and all maps available for these projects, can be viewed or downloaded from the relevant project located on the right side of this page.

Shoreline Management Plan Maps

These maps show the zoning of parcels of the shoreline at the lakes.  Most of the projects have mutiple maps to show the zoning clearly and for these projects the zoning maps have been combined into one document.  Due to the large file size the maps may be slow to load.

Cove Maps

The cove maps (if available) are of individual coves and their allotted shoreline.  These maps indicate the amount of shoreline zoned for private floating structures.  The maps are available as a combined file and have been setup with Bookmarks to assist the user in finding the cove map of interest.
