Rock County Sheriff Troy Knudson has issued a slow-no-wake speed restriction on the Rock River for the July 4th fireworks display that has been rescheduled for Sunday, July 10th. The slow-no-wake order will stretch from the West Highway 14 Bridge to the West Centerway Street Dam from 5:00pm until midnight Sunday.

Boat patrols will be on the water to enforce safety violations, and signs will be placed along the river at public access points on Sunday morning.

Knudson said the river becomes chaotic and dangerous due to the large number of boats on the Rock River and that this restriction will help ensure that all boaters are traveling at a safe speed before and after the event.
