High Water Alert: Slow-No-Wake Until Further Notice
Due to the heavy rain and rising water levels, North Lake is in a Slow-No-Wake condition until further notice. During these times, shore erosion and damage to piers and boat lifts can occur.
A large fluorescent lime green buoy will be anchored on the island between the small and large lake. While it is displayed, we ask all boaters to comply with the slow-no-wake rule for the entire lake. The buoy will be removed as soon as the lake level returns to normal. Signs will also be posted at the Yacht Club launch.
Please review Section (6) SPEED RESTRICTIONS, subsection (d) Speed Limit – Slow-No-Wake – High Water of the Town of Merton Ordinance 20.04 – NORTH LAKE AND OCONOMOWOC RIVER. (Am. 4/24/90; Am. 6/22/16; Rep. & recr. 3/26/18(2)) for detailed information. The ordinance is linked below.
