The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is reminding North Texans to be safe and vigilant on area lakes this Memorial Day weekend.
With more people expected to be out on area lakes, Texas Game Wardens will be out in full force to ensure people are enjoying their time on the water responsibly.Officials made that very clear during a media ride-along on Lake Lavon this week.
They will also be on the lookout for those drinking and driving on the water. Violators could get fined or even lose their driver’s license."When it called upon, the worst part of our job is recovering a drowning victim,” said Marker."People associate drowning with somebody waving their hands but a lot of drownings most of them are going to be what we call silent drownings. People go under the water and may come up once or may not come up at all.
