Emergency 5mph rule to be lifted at 6:00am Saturday

As outlined in the Dickinson County High-Water Plan, when the last gauge falls below the pre-determined emergency level, a 72-hour waiting period will begin prior to the 5mph rule being lifted. Yesterday morning (June 17) at 6:00 a.m., West Okoboji fell below 6.20’ on the USGS gauge. Therefore, the 5mph rule will be removed on all lakes in Dickinson County at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2024, barring any rainfall that would bring the level back up to 6.20’.

HOWEVER…We are strongly encouraging anyone who plans to be out on the lakes to be aware of sensitive areas that received damage in the recent floods. Those areas are highlighted on the map below. If you are near these areas, please be respectful of the property owners and we recommend you reduce your speed to 5mph. Please see the attached map for the locations of sensitive areas.
