The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Department of Resources, provides boat patrol on Park Lake. Due to the low number of boaters and the limited size of Park Lake the Sheriff’s Office patrols Park Lake on a limited basis in comparison to Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin River.

The question is often asked what a person should do when they witness a reckless boat operation, a disorderly conduct action, or other Park Lake related issues.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office requests that you do the following:
• Be a good witness to the incident and gather as much information to identify the   persons involved in the illegal activity.
• Record the boater registration number, a description of the boat and the occupants
• Take note of the truck or car’s license plate that is towing any craft that is involved.
• Call 911 if the situation is creating an emergency situation.
• Do not confront the boat operator or the occupants.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at the Sheriff’s Office at 608-742-4166.
