Otter Tail County Sherrif’s Office Issues No-Wake Zones on Several Area Lakes

Due to high water levels there is a no-wake zone 300 feet from shore on Pelican Lake, Fish Lake, Bass Lake, and Little Pelican Lake in Scambler and Dun Township.

There is also a no-wake zone in effect on Spitzer Lake in Leaf Mountain Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota.

The no-wake restriction advisory means that all watercraft should not exceed a speed whereby a wake or wave is produced behind the craft. All boaters and watercraft operators are encouraged to use caution and slower speeds when operating near the shoreline while the water remains high.

The no-wake zone advisory is an effort to protect the shorelines, reduce property erosion and minimize environmental damage. The no-wake advisory is in effect for no more than 30 days.

The No Wake Advisory will expire June 25, 2022
