State drops emergency boat speeds order

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- The state has dropped emergency boat speed limits put in place on four lakes after last month's flooding raised water levels.

The Department of Safety says effective immediately, the 600-foot headway speed limit rule no longer applies on Silver Lake in the towns of Tilton and Belmont, Lake Winnipesaukee, Lake Winnisquam, and Lake Opechee.

The order was enacted because high water covered many docks, wharves, stumps and rocks on the shoreline, making them boating hazards.

The state says the usual 150-foot no wake rule near shorelines now applies.
