Vehicles must have a West Frankfort Lake Sticker
Everyone using either of the West Frankfort Lakes are required to have a West Frankfort Lake sticker or they can be fined. Stickers, which are good for both lakes, may be purchased at the West Frankfort City Hall. Stickers are much cheaper than the fine for not having a sticker. A new sticker is required each year.
