INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) Heavy rains resulting in high water has prompted the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to restrict boating on several lakes in northeast Indiana. The emergency order restricts the operation of motorized watercraft on the Indian Lakes Chain in LaGrange County, which consists of Dallas, Witmer, Hackenberg, Westler and Messick lakes, as well as on the West Lakes Chain, which consists of Waldron, Steinbarger, Tamarack, and Jones lakes in Noble County. The DNR also placed an idle speed restriction on motorized watercraft on Sylvan Lake. A boating restriction is put into effect when surface water conditions are likely to enter dwelling structures as a result of a wake.
