Waterways still closed

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office is reminding boaters the Rock River and Clear Lake remain closed.

All public landings on the river and lakes are closed and the Town of Milton has a Slow/No Wake ordinance in place on Clear Lake.

The office warns there are quick currents and hidden debris in the waterways, and they will only enter the water for emergency rescues.

Residents are encouraged to stay off the water and out of flooded areas, and anyone who sees somebody in flooded areas or on the river or lake should call authorities.
