FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lake Bed Regulation

As most residents are aware, we have suffered a severe drought which in turn has caused our lakes to be at an all time low.  Washington County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind the community that it is a criminal offense to drive around or through lake beds and anyone found participating in this illegal activity could be charged.  Driving around or through lake beds results in extreme and often irreparable damage to the lake bed which is why it is protected under Florida Law.   

If you have any questions regarding the law pertaining to lake beds you can contact the Sheriff’s Office at 850-638-6111
