PIERRE – High water has caused South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Secretary Kelly Hepler to declare a temporary “no wake zone” on Lake Thompson.
In an executive order earlier this year, Gov. Kristi Noem named Hepler a “temporary designee,” giving him the ability to create such restrictions.
The no wake zone will be within 300 feet of the shoreline and will restrict boats to no greater than 5 miles per hour.
The no wake zone will be in place until high water conditions subside.
