 Aquatic invasive species, such as zebra mussels, often hitch a ride on our watercraft and trailers, and then are unknowingly transported from one lake to another.
Parks & Recreation has a number of free tools people can use to keep watercraft free of aquatic hitchhikers.

As the hot weather continues, keep in mind these precautions to stay cool in the heat:
- Limit outdoor activity, especially midday when the sun is hottest.
- Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more. Water is better at cooling your body than drinks with sugar.
- Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
- Use sunscreen.
During extreme heat, check on relatives, neighbors, older adults and other vulnerable community members to ensure they are staying cool and hydrated. Those at highest risk include people 65 and older, children younger than two, and people with chronic diseases or mental illness.
View more information on staying cool in the heat at ramseycounty.us/ExtremeHeat.
