As we get started in this boating season we come to find an issue that I'm not sure the legality of the issue.
We boat on the Ohio river. Our place is about 1/2 mile back into a creek. Upon returning after dark last weekend we have found that 2 landowners have placed extremely bright lights pointing from the beginning of their dock ramps out into the water. I believe they are LED spot lights. The lights are blinding. Not only is hard to see while you are passing through that area, it affects your vision after you pass.
My question, is legal for them to have these lights positioned this way on a waterway? The creek is only used by the local boaters, not commercial traffic.
