Statewide Iowa — This holiday weekend is expected to continue what has been a busy summer on Iowa’s lakes and rivers.
The DNR’s Susan Stoker, says two words describe the crowds she’s seeing during the summer weekends.
Stocker is the DNR Boating Law Administrator, and she says the big crowds haven’t led to a huge increase in problems.
You may have been out on your favorite lake several times, but Stoker says you need to be prepared for changes.
Some of those changes could have happened with recent rains across the state.
And she says you have to remember to make sure the person who is operating the boat doesn’t take part in the holiday “cheer.”
She says that can lead to an accident with serious injuries or deaths.
