Game wardens focus on boater safety over July 4 weekend From Lisa Jackson Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will step up patrols on Kentucky's waterways during the upcoming Independence Day weekend, working to ensure everyone enjoys a safe and responsible boating experience. The increased patrols July 3-5, 2026, are part of "Operation Dry Water," a nationwide boating safety initiative that brings together Kentucky game wardens and law enforcement agencies to increase awareness, enforce boating laws and reduce alcohol- and drug-related incidents and fatalities. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, balance, vision and reaction time for both boat operators and passengers. Environmental factors like sun, wind, noise, vibration and motion can worsen these effects and increase fatigue. Boaters are encouraged to stay sober and vigilant to ensure a safe and enjoyable day on the water.
