#ResponsibleRecreation

With the recreation season now underway, outdoor recreators should work diligently to keep safety a top priority. Always recreate with a buddy, wear your life jackets and helmets, and be sure to let somebody know where you are going and when to expect your return. Checking weather conditions and water temperatures is also vital. 

With increasing temperatures this summer season, be sure to follow our recommended safety tips.
