Usually boating season starts March 1 at Liberty but it was delayed this year due to ice, which public works officials said is still a concern.
“...ice remains in some Liberty Reservoir coves,” according to the announcement, so boaters should be careful.

Prettyboy Reservoir remains closed because “large sections of the reservoir [are] still covered with ice,” the announcement said.
The department credited higher temperatures in recent weeks with melting the ice at Liberty.
Boating at all three reservoirs requires a valid boating permit. For more information on boating permits, contact the Department of Natural Resources at 410-795-6150. Also, check out regulations online.
