The lakes are more likely to enforce noise restrictions than the rivers.  Some lakes won't even let you launch if they see you have open headers.

welcome  :thumbup:
i've only been there once and that was 23 years ago. at that time i did not have baffles just water running thru the bassetts.
when you do get on the water take some photos i'd like to see the lake agian  :)

but to answer your question... yes i'm sure you will need baffles but maybe since the boat is close to the lake you could run up there during the week while the ranger is out to lunch  ;)

second edit... dude i just noticed your from ventura so am i  :thumbup: :thumbup: let me know if you need anything.

Not sure about that lake but I know for sure any lake I've been to (Castaic, Piru, Pyramid) wanted to see my baffles  :thumbdown:
