One third of all boating fatalities in Minnesota happen during the cold water season.
The D-N-R’s Lisa Dugan says as ice-outs continue on many lakes and rivers across the state, keep in mind the water is still dangerously cold. She says you need to prepare for the water temperature, not the air temps.
