Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has placed boating restrictions on watercraft on the Barbee and Tippecanoe Lakes Chain and Lake Wawasee.
The emergency order restricts the operation of motorized watercraft on the Barbee Lakes Chain, which consists of Kuhn, Big Barbee, Little Barbee, Irish, Sechrist, Sawmill and Banning Lakes in Kosciusko County due to high-water levels, according to a news release from the DNR.
The DNR also placed an idle speed restriction on motorized watercraft on Tippecanoe Lake Chain, which consists of Lake Tippecanoe, Oswego and James Lakes and Lake Wawasee.
A boating restriction is put into effect when surface water conditions are likely to enter dwelling structures as a result of a wake, the release states.
