No wake zone ordered in lower St. Martin

Effective immediately, there will be a no wake zone in effect for Lower St. Martin Parish (Stephensville and Belle River) until further notice under an executive order by Parish President, Chester Cedars.

The water level is high, and boaters traveling at a high rate of speed have the potential to throw additional water into the yards and homes along the bayou.

The parish government thanked residents for cooperating with the order.
