About those Wake Zones…

A recent comment on Facebook reminded us of a post we made last year about differences in No Wake zones across the Chain. Of the seven No Wake zones, two are in effect all year, whether buoys are in place or not. Those two zones are the channel between Little Cedar and Cedar Island Lake, as well as the section of the Sauk River between the Hwy 23 bridge in Cold Spring and the Co. Rd. 2 bridge.
For the five other No Wake zones, restrictions are only in effect between Memorial Day and Labor Day. However, in the interests of maintaining a healthy Chain, let's all slow down in those areas all year long, as wake-induced erosion doesn't stop when the buoys are absent.
