If you’re heading to the lake this Independence Day weekend, expect to see more Kentucky game wardens on patrol.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is joining the nationwide “Operation Dry Water” campaign July 3rd through the 5th, targeting impaired boating and promoting safe boating practices.
Officials are reminding boaters to have a sober operator, wear life jackets and make sure all required safety equipment is on board. They say alcohol and drugs slow reaction time and increase the risk of serious accidents on the water.
