INDIANA – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has placed boating restrictions on watercraft on the West Lakes Chain, the Indian Lakes Chain, and Sylvan Lake.
The emergency order restricts the operation of motorized watercraft on the Indian Lakes Chain in LaGrange County, which consists of Dallas, Witmer, Hackenberg, Westler, and Messick lakes, and on the West Lakes Chain, which consists of Waldron, Steinbarger, Tamarack, and Jones lakes in Noble County. The restrictions are due to concern regarding high water levels.
The DNR also placed an idle speed restriction on motorized watercraft on Sylvan Lake.
A boating restriction is implemented when surface water conditions are likely to enter dwelling structures due to a wake.
