What is required to hold an event on a lake in Isanti County during the winter months?
In the interest of public safety, the Isanti County Sheriffs Office has adopted the following rules to hold an event on a lake in Isanti County. • You must request a permit from the sheriffs office to hold an event. • You must have insurance for the event, naming all parties involved with the event, as well as naming the Isanti County Sheriffs Office as the insured. • If you are holding a snowmobile race and the speeds are above 50 mph, you will need to get an exemption from the DNR. • We will not allow any event to occur unless there is a minimum of 12 inches of ice, even if a permit has already been issued. • You must have someone to clean up any garbage or debris left behind. Permits are free of charge and can be obtained by contacting Russ Monson at 763-691-2408 or at russ.monson@sheriff.co.isanti.mn.us.
