Slow/no wake lifted on northern portion of Rock River


Rock County is temporarily suspending a slow/no wake speed restriction on a stretch of the Rock River from the northern Rock County line to the Indianford dam because water levels have dropped.County ordinance allows for change when the river falls below 8 feet. A U.S. Geological Survey gauge on Lake Koshkonong found the river’s depth is 7.99 feet, according to a release from the Rock County Sheriff’s office.The slow/no-wake restriction downstream, from the Indianford dam to the Beloit-Rock Townline Road bridge, will remain until the Lake Koshkonong gauge falls below 6.5 feet, the release said.The Sheriff's Office previously removed slow/no wake restrictions on the southern portion of the river from the Townline Road bridge to the southern county line because levels fell below 8.5 feet.
