The Rock County Sheriff's Office announced today the slow, no wake zone for the portion of the Rock River that flows through the city and town of Janesville will be lifted effective at 5 p.m. Friday.
I know everyone is anxious to get back on the river and I'm sure the section through town is to get the Aqua Jay's back out on the water. However, where we live the water is far from normal yet so I sure hope they do not lift the SNW from our section of the river. Or either whoever lifts it or the boaters can come & help us reseed or sod next spring. The boaters need to be thoughtful to the landowners along the river. Remember...we're the one's paying taxes on the land you're destroying by creating the wakes on what is our lawn!
For some reason the Gazette won't post it but it is on the Sheriff's web site.

They will not for some reason remove the SNW from Newville to Indianford. I wish the Gazette would investigate this.
