Local outdoor authorities are passing along some safety reminders after an eventful weekend on Clinton Lake.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, DNR Conservation Police Officer Noah Workman told Regional Radio they had a vehicle submerged at one of the boat access ramps over the weekend. He is imploring boaters to be careful and remember safety first.

Tragedy struck Lake Shelbyville this weekend when a person drowned at the lake. While he did not know the circumstances of that situation, he notes Clinton Lake saw a drowning a few years ago and encourages boaters to not chase their boats if they come loose and float out into the water.

Officer Workman reports Clinton Lake has seen very few issues this summer. Proactive in enforcing life jacket safety - particularly among youth - he is encouraged to see good compliance on that front this summer as well.
