BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – The No Wake Buoys are now in place around Branch County lakes thanks to the efforts of the Branch County Marine Patrol.
Buoys act as a warning for boaters to maintain safe speeds around crowded passageways as well as assist with any damage done by soil erosion in specific areas of the lake.
Some buoys have to be replaced every year due to normal aging but vandalism cause some them to be replaced earlier than normal.
It is not only disrespectful, it is unlawful to tamper with or purposely cause damage to the buoys.
Boaters are encouraged to treat the buoys respectfully as they were purchased with the investments of local businesses and community members.
New replacement buoys were provided this year to the Marine Patrol through the donations of local businesses and private individuals, including Coldwater Lake Marina and the Coldwater Lake Association members and their sponsors.
The Coldwater Lake Association is hosting a community education series throughout the summer. For more information, visit ColdwaterLakeAssociation.com/LakeEvents.
