The Indiana DNR is warning that more public boat ramps are becoming unsafe for launching trailered boats, especially on rivers, as a result of the ongoing drought. Officials say shallow water has increased the risk that boat operators will drive their trailers over the ends of boat ramps, especially in muddy rivers where ramps can be difficult to see underwater. Water levels are abnormally low at all DNR reservoirs, and boaters are urged to use caution.
