Know your ability and do not exceed it! • State law requires a Coast Guard Approved life jacket for each occupant of each boat. All non-swimmers should wear their life jackets. • All transported items should be tied to your boat to prevent spillage. • Please know when you are entering public lands on your trip so that if you leave your canoe, you are not trespassing. • Respect the rights of private property owners and other river users. • Please carry out all that you take with you; pitch in and pick up after others. • Please let someone know where you are canoeing and when you will return. • Please help preserve and protect the river resources for future generations.
