Boating safety & etiquette

- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About State Highway 65 25261, Delta County
Can I launch a motorboat here?

Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
