Boaters cannot enter a small zone in Ashland, Wisconsin, for 4th of July fireworks

The Coast Guard will create a temporary no-go zone on the water in Ashland, Wisconsin. This zone will keep boats away from the 4th of July fireworks display.

Every year, local Coast Guard units issue hundreds of these temporary rules. They are routine and apply to specific, small events like fireworks or boat races. They ensure public safety during planned activities on navigable waterways.
