Tragedy struck three Minot homes Monday when three men were drowned in the Snake Creek arm of the Garrison Reservoir. High winds up to 60 miles per hr. which hit the area swept up waves in this body of water which were contributing factors in the accidental deaths.

The lake is a wonderful recreational asset, but it can turn deadly in an instant. Unfortunately, we had to learn that lesson tragically, and we occasionally still get reminders. If you're on the water -- in any season -- safe trips home demand prudence and good judgement.
