Welcome

We remain dedicated to maintaining the quality of life enjoyed throughout our community, and ensure our county is a safe place to live, work and visit.
Our marine boats will be out on the Lake this summer keeping you safe. Never leave your boat unattended when you are out in the water. There's nothing wrong with hopping in the lake to cool down but be sure that a person capable of operating the boat stays aboard and is aware of anyone in the water. An unexpected gust of wind can move a boat faster than you are able to swim and you can quickly find yourself in the middle of the lake without a ride to shore. For more boat safety tips click here.
