River restrictions lifted

You can launch your boat on the Rock River in Rock County this weekend, but you’ll have to keep your speed to the minimum on the parts of the river near Janesville.

A slow, no-wake zone continues in Janesville Township and the city of Janesville this weekend, said Tom Presny, the city’s parks director.

“While the river levels continue to drop, some private property, such as docks and shoreline, remain under water,” according to a city of Janesville news release.

The river is open to normal boat speeds upstream from Janesville Township, starting roughly at
Camp Indian Trails, Presny said. The towns of Milton and Fulton lifted their slow, no-wake restrictions today.

A slow, no-wake restriction continues on Clear Lake in Milton Township, however.
