Boat safety reminders 

Lakes across Minnesota and North Dakota will be busy this weekend due to the Independence Day holiday. Nathan Olson of the Minnesota DNR Fisheries Department tells us some things to remember when out on the lake. 

Olson also says that just because it’s the holiday weekend does not mean you can take a vacation from following Minnesota’s invasive species laws.
