Boating Reminder

The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office would like to remind everyone out enjoying area lakes and waterways over the next few weeks to practice safe and courteous boating while operating in and around the lakes and specifically in close proximity to shorelines. The Sheriff's Office is suggesting slow or no wake on St. Louis County waterways due to the high water levels from recent rainfall in and around the area. 

The Sheriff's Office is asking boaters to exercise restraint, good judgment, common sense, and courtesy while operating on area lakes, especially those experiencing high water levels. Boat operators should reduce their speed while traveling in these sensitive areas and while operating close to shore areas and channel ways. The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office thanks boaters and recreators in advance for their cooperation.
