Three municipalities have requested the Rock County Sheriff’s Office lift the slow/no wake restrictions on some parts of the Rock River.

The towns of Rock and Janesville have requested the restrictions be lifted because the river has fallen below flood stage, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

North of Janesville, the town of Fulton has asked the sheriff’s office to remove the restriction on the river below the Indianford Dam.

Until further notice, the slow/no wake restriction will remain in effect on the Rock River from north of the Indianford Dam to Lake Koshkonong.

I guess they don't know how to read?

Uh, I think the boaters generally know which stretch of the river they're on. It helps you know when you're about to be swept over a dam!

I think so. A map would be nice.
