Lake Erie

Lake Erie is on the east side of Fidalgo Island.

The Skagit County Board of Commissioners approved a 30 mph speed limit Tuesday on Lake Erie, striking a compromise between boaters and residents who live along the lake.

At the public hearing, the commissioners agreed that a reduced speed limit, better education and better enforcement of the rules would alleviate concerns residents have with noise.
