It was a busy summer on Clinton Lake and Lake Deactur for central Illinois DNR authorities.

Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Officer Trent Reeves indicates the summer on Clinton Lake always seems to be ushered in by the Memorial Day holiday but Lake Decatur's return of the boat races kicked the boating season into high gear.

According to Officer Reeves, almost every instance of burglary to motor vehicle at Clinton Lake has been a window smashed. He says they continue the investigations but encourage anyone visiting the lake to put valuables out of site.

Officer Reeves says with the fall season rolling in, DNR now turns its attention to the hunting seasons ahead. We'll have more on that with Officer Reeves in the days ahead on Regional Radio.
