McCook Lake Reopen to Boating with No-Wake Zone

September 10, 2024

PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) today announced the reopening of McCook Lake in Union County, which had been included in the previous "no boating declaration."

The lake will have a no-wake zone across the entire waterbody.

"There is still a significant amount of debris in the lake itself," said Sam Schelhaas, Law Enforcement Chief. "We want to open the water with a no-wake zone, which will allow individuals to continue clean up and dock retrieval from this event."

Boaters are reminded to be cautious for debris floating below the surface and respect the local homeowners by following the no-wake restriction.
