5mph emergency speed limit on Iowa's Great Lakes boats lifted on 20th July due to decreased water levels.
The 5mph emergency speed limit on boats in Iowa's Great Lakes will be lifted at 6am on 20th July, following a decrease in water levels. However, the county urges boaters to reduce speeds to 5mph near damaged shorelines, as careless operation of watercraft could hinder repair efforts. The speed limit was in place due to heavy rainfall in June, affecting popular activities like skiing, tubing and personal watercraft use.
