New Brighton, MN ~ Ramsey County

HIGH WATER/NO WAKE

The Long Lake Road bridge over Rice Creek has a yellow hash mark on the NE side of the bridge that identifies the high water mark at 866.22'.  The plan is for the City to put a stripe on the boat launch in the fall of 2024 indicating the high water mark as well.  

The no wake rule due to high water is a City ordinance and the City has given LLIA permission to monitor lake level and take the following actions once over the high water mark:

  1. Inform Ramsey County Water Patrol that the No Wake ordinance is in effect and when when to water recedes to normal levels
  2. Open all No Wake signs on Beach Road and at the landing
  3. Raise the flag to inform all lake residents of No Wake
  4. Send an email blast (example to the right) to communicate to members when the lake elevation is over and below this mark 
  5. Update the home page of our website

The LLIA Public Safety Committee will be monitoring the lake closely when we have a potential high water situation.  If you have questions about high water, email us at llianewbrighton@gmail.com.  

If any boats are seen once the ordinance has been put into effect, please call Ramsey County Sheriff at 651-767-0640.

No wake means operating your boat at the slowest speed necessary to maintain steerage, but in no case greater than five miles-per-hour.
