(Vevay, Ind.) - Indiana Conservation Officers remind the public to take safety precautions and follow all posted directions while recreating near dams along the Ohio River, including the Markland Dam near Vevay, Indiana.
The Markland Dam is a popular recreational spot offering many opportunities for anglers and boaters to enjoy the area's natural resources. However, boaters must be aware of the inherent dangers of the dam and comply with all directions on buoys and signs located upstream and downstream of the structure.
Among these warnings are the “keep out” buoys, placed upstream of the dam to indicate areas where boats are prohibited from entering.
These buoys and signs warn of the unpredictable water conditions that create a boil line similar to a low-head dam. These conditions can significantly hinder a boat’s maneuverability and could cause it to capsize. The dam could also be opened at any time, adding additional hazards to the area.
Officers are patrolling this area to ensure laws are being followed and that people are taking all precautions to enjoy the area safely.
