NO WAKE RESTRICTIONS REMAIN IN PLACE

The Stearns County Sheriff's Office has confirmed a decision to leave in place for now the 300-foot no wake restriction for a number of area lakes, including the entire Chain. As you can see from the two graphs, the water level in St. Martin (approximately five miles upstream from Becker Lake) is almost a half-foot higher than it was at the peak in early July that prompted the temporary restriction in the first place. And the gauge at Horseshoe Lake has come up ~5 inches in the past few days.

Hopefully the rains will abate for a while and allow lake levels to recede! We'll keep you posted.

If you have concerns about enforcement, contact Stearns Co. Sheriff Dispatch 320-251-4240.
