The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has placed boating restrictions on watercraft on the Barbee and Tippecanoe Lakes Chain and Lake Wawasee.
The emergency order restricts the operation of motorized watercraft on the Barbee Lakes Chain, which consists of Kuhn, Big Barbee, Little Barbee, Irish, Sechrist, Sawmill, and Banning Lakes in Kosciusko County due to high-water levels.
The DNR also placed an idle speed restriction on motorized watercraft on Tippecanoe Lake Chain, which consists of Lake Tippecanoe, Oswego, and James Lakes and Lake Wawasee.
A boating restriction is put into effect when surface water conditions are likely to enter dwelling structures as a result of a wake.
