Frequently Asked Questions

Does Twin Lakes have significant BOAT-OWI enforcement?
Yes, seasonally. Lake Elizabeth and Lake Mary (the 'twin lakes' that give the village its name) are patrolled by Kenosha County Sheriff marine unit and WDNR wardens during summer. BOAT-OWI uses the same BAC thresholds as car OWI under Wis. Stat. § 30.681.
What summer enforcement should I know about?
Twin Lakes PD increases patrol staffing during summer. Highway 50 becomes congested during weekend beach-traffic periods, with frequent speeding and OWI stops. Lake Elizabeth and Lake Mary have both marine-patrol and shoreline-patrol coverage.
