     Boat and water safety is an important part of being responsible when enjoying the lakes or waterways.  No matter what your hobby or attraction, think responsibly and get informed about the rules and regulations of the lakes, boats and personal watercraft.  This page has some great resources to get you started.

 

RULES FOR BOATING & WATER SAFETY


The rules are enough to fill several manuals, so rather than list them all out on this page, we have provided you with some great links and suggestions for manuals that you may want to view, order or print out.

Some of the topics include:  boating and fishing ethics, rules of the road for the lake, water-way markers,  ordinances, fees, required equipment, along with several other tops.
