Cold water dangers

Anglers, boaters, and paddlers are taking advantage of early ice-out on water bodies across the state. Please remember the water remains dangerously cold and an unexpected fall in can turn tragic quickly. Wearing a life jacket is one of the best ways to stay safe.

Ride safely

The off-highway vehicle season is kicking into full swing. Stay safe out there by always wearing a helmet and seat belt (if the machine is equipped with one), riding sober, and actively supervising young riders.
