North Turner Lake, July 19

The Oregon State Marine Board agency filed a temporary rule for North Turner Lake.  The temporary rule is in effect from July 6, 2018 through January 1, 2019, allowing only electric motors and establishes a speed limit of 5 MPH.  A lake safety committee created by the City of Turner’s Council determined that boat operation restrictions are needed to promote safety on North Turner Lake.  Infrastructure providing access to the lake is fairly new and the City of Turner requested a temporary rule, due to the 70-acre size of the lake.
