Guidelines on Wolf River with water ski championship in town

With the Division 2 Show Ski National Championships taking place Aug. 6-8, there are some changes to Wolf River access and usage of which people should be aware.

On those three days, there will be a legal waterway closure to non-competition boat traffic from the trestle to the dam. This is in place for the safety of all water ski individuals, teams and boats in action.

There will also be a no-wake passage from the channel to the trestle so that boat traffic can still move through. The area will be marked by buoys.

Finally, there will be a no-wake channel on the west side of the river for those who need to get through, primarily in place for property owners.

“We don’t want to hinder anybody from being able to use the waterways,” said Brad Keuschel, Shawano Ski Shark member. “We’re just asking for a chunk of it for a couple days.”
