A boat lift was removed from the Mississippi River on Saturday in Brockway Township. The lift had been swept away by the river’s strong current and was blocking a navigation path. It was removed by the Stearns County Sheriff’s office with help from the Minnesota DNR and Andy’s Towing Company.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents on the river to secure or remove water structures while water levels are high and the current is strong. If you are missing a boat lift, please call the Sheriff’s Office at 320-251-4240.
