Rainy Lake Fireworks Get Temporary No-Boat Zone

## Summary

On August 8, 2026, the Coast Guard plans to create a temporary safety zone around Rainy Lake near Ranier Beach Park for a fireworks show. Boats and people won’t be allowed inside this zone from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. unless they get special permission. This keeps everyone safe from fireworks hazards and protects the environment, so mark your calendars and plan ahead!
