Boaters might just have one final chance to get out on Clinton Lake before the fall and winter weather forces the boats to be put up for the year.

Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Captain John Williamson indicates the summer on Clinton Lake was a busy place this summer. He notes, there was a surge in boat sales and that was reflected in the crowds on the lake.

According to Williamson, with lockdowns and people stuck inside, there were concerns the problems would be escalated on the water but there really was not much of that.

Capt. Williamson anticipates an uptick in boaters this weekend with temperatures expected in the 70s throughout the weekend. He notes fishing is still strong on the lake if anyone is wanting to take advantage of that.
