A Pole/Troll Zone has been established on a portion of Mosquito Lagoon inside the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.  A map of this area is below.  To get to this area, go south from our cottage until you pass channel marker #17 and then cut across to the zone.  It is about 7 miles by water from our cottage.  For more information on the Pole/Troll Zone, go to http://www.fws.gov/merrittisland/MosquitoLagoon/index.html.

To be in compliance with the regulations of the Zones, internal combustion engines must be off, (except in the posted channels) and boats drafting more than 12" at rest may not enter. Boats that enter the zone must switch to a non-internal combustion power source such as polling or paddling. Electric trolling motors are permitted. Boats may operate under power only in the posted running channels. The boundary of the Pole & Troll Zones is posted with white or yellow buoys and the running channels are marked with red and green day markers.
