Law Enforcement: The sheriff's boat will patrol during the week and weekends. They remind all lake users that flotation devices are needed for paddle boarding, kayaks, and while using large inflatables.
Dane County ordinance establishes a 200-ft slow-no-wake zone along the entire shorelines of Lakes Mendota, Monona, Waubesa and Kegonsa. Within that zone, boaters must not travel faster than slow-no-wake speed, which means the minimum speed at which a motorized watercraft is able to move and maintain adequate steerage control.
