Water & Boat Safety

Now that the warm weather is here, and activities around the lake are picking up, we want to remind everyone to be safe.  Here are a few safety tips.

  • Swimming
    • Parents, don’t leave young children unsupervised near the water
    • Do a thorough check of all flotation devices
    • Do a thorough check of your dock for any cracked decking, nails sticking out, rotting wood, and any other safety hazards
  • Boaters
    • Do a complete check of your boat for any faulty equipment, cracks/holes in the hull, etc
    • Do you have all your required safety equipment?
    • Pay attention to your surroundings, watch for other water craft and swimmers
    • Please don’t combine boating with alcohol

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable season in and around the lake.
