FL here, ACoE, Water Management Districts, some FL DEP, State, it's a
mess.

What got me interested was a poster who was claiming he liked the Icon
A5 which is built around the corner from me.

The statement was he thought it would be neat to be able to fly from
lake to lake or whatever, the idea of freedom of access to many
waterbodies (the sports, shores, camping, etc). Sounded nice to me as
well but practical?


I don't know what the Corp's policy is today, but they do have regs that
forbid air delivery on Corp property and lakes, without a permit granted
days in advance. Unless it was an established seaplane base.

I have seen ultralights at the lakes on floats, but have no idea if any have
been stopped or fined.
