Missouri State Highway Patrol Says Check You Buoys

Spring is here and with it comes increased boating activity at the Lake of the Ozarks, and with the boating season approaching, the Missouri State Highway Patrol is reminding those who are permitted to place buoys on the lake to check their condition as the particularly harsh winter may have had adverse effects on them.  The Highway Patrol says Marine Operations Troopers will be conducting buoy inspections in the coming weeks.  They’re also reminding dock owners that it is a violation of state statute to place an unauthorized buoy on the state’s waterways.
