IDNR Report
The emergency order restricting the operation of motorized watercraft has been rescinded for the Indian Lakes (Dallas) Chain in LaGrange County, and normal boating operations may resume. The Indian Lakes Chain consists of Dallas, Witmer, Hackenberg, Westler and Messick lakes.
The emergency order for the West Lakes Chain (Dukeís Bridge), which consists of Waldron, Steinbarger, Tamarack and Jones lakes in Noble County, will continue, due to continued concern regarding high-water levels. The order limits the operation of motorized watercraft to idle speed on the lakes in that chain.
