Don’t Be a Dinosaur!
Don’t be a dinosaur. Take the pledge to slow down and enjoy the rivers this summer. The speed limit on the North and South Rivers is either 6 knots or no wake. A boat’s wake can be dangerous to people on non-motorized vessels and can cause erosion along our shorelines. Help protect our rivers.
