Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)Laws and Requirements:

Before leaving the water access or shoreline property, you MUST:

Clean off ALL aquatic plants and animals Drain all water including bilge, livewells, baitwells, bait buckets, motor and ballast tanks Pull the plug and leave it out

Get into the habit of taking these three simple steps, and it will soon become part of your routine. Pull away from the boat ramp area. Check for plants while strapping the boat down. Pull the plug when adjusting the motor. If you have other people (especially kids) with you, have them help! Adding a few minutes will help safeguard our waters.

Cleaning water-related equipment is just as important as cleaning boats, so while you’re cleaning your boat, please remember to also:

Clean anchors, ropes, �shing tackle, and other objects that were in the water. Many species can be transported in the mud or in �shing lines and rope Dump water out of canoes, kayaks, and other watercraft before leaving

These are YOUR waters and it is YOUR responsibility to inspect, clean, and drain your boats!

AIS Bait Laws

It is illegal to transport lake and river water. To save your bait (minnows or leeches), the DNR recommends bringing bottled or tap water from home and keeping it in your vehicle or cooler. Bringing ice can be a good idea on warm days to cool down the water.

DO NOT dump unwanted bait into water bodies or on the shoreline! Unwanted bait belongs in the trash or a designated compost bin. Unwanted worms must be disposed of in the trash.

Working Together to Protect the Waters Watercraft Inspectors are here to ensure watercraft and equipment are “clean in, clean out!” If you need assistance, have questions about the laws, or are curious about the program, please ask!

Ways you can help the Watercraft Inspectors: Please clean your boat and pull your plug as soon as you are safely able to. That way when the inspector comes, the inspection process will move quickly If there is a Decontamination Unit present, please follow all the instructions given by the inspectors, for your safety and theirs. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and watch them work from a safe distanceWays the Watercraft Inspectors can help you: The inspectors have tools, wrenches and pliers, so if you are having trouble with your plug, ask! If there are weeds that are hard to reach, inspectors can also help pull weeds off boats or other such tasks. They also have grabbing tools for plants

When you see the Watercraft Inspectors, please be cooperative. The law requires compliance with inspectors, and it will help everyone to be on their way in a timely and pleasant manner.

Safe Boating

Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) - On all boats (except a sailboard) regardless of length there must be a readily accessible Coast Guard approved wearable PFD for each person on board. In addition, on boats 16 feet or longer, except canoes and kayaks, there must also be at least one Coast Guard approved throwable device, such as a ring buoy or seat cushion.

Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) - Boating while intoxicated is illegal. For persons found to be under the in�uence there are signi�cant penalties, including �nes and possible jail sentences.

Personal Watercraft - Special laws apply including wearing a PFD and operating at slow no wake speed at certain distances from other watercraft, swimmers and other objects in the water. Operator age restrictions also apply. Consult the Boating Guide for more information. A DNR safety video is available free of charge.

Public Water Access in Minnesota:

The Minnesota DNR State Parks and Trail’s water recreation program provides approximately 1,600 boat accesses, over 350 �shing piers and shore �shing sites, and manages 34 designated Water Trails in Minnesota. The DNR, Federal Government and local communities operate boat accesses. See the table on the right for speci�c site information. The DNR boating programs are funded by user fees including boat license & gas tax related to marine use.

Public accesses are usually open 24 hours unless otherwise posted. Most sites have launch ramps but some sites, especially on smaller rivers, are carry in only. Bathrooms and docks are usually located only on the larger and busier sites.

Public Water Access Rules - The launch area must be kept clear and the following activities are unlawful: littering, camping, shooting, building �res, and consuming alcoholic beverages. See Minnesota Rules, chapter 6218 for complete rules.

Boating in Minnesota

The annual Minnesota Boating Guide summarizes Minnesota's boating laws and regulations in an easy-to-read form. The guide supplies information about operating watercraft on the state's lakes and rivers. Operator age restrictions apply to operators 17 years old and younger.

Licensing - All motorized and non-motorized watercraft must be licensed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Please contact the DNR License Bureau for information.

Fishing in Minnesota

Fishing Regulations and Licensing - All persons 16 and older are required to have the appropriate license with them when �shing. Licenses are available through the DNR License Bureau, most County Auditors and many stores that sell �shing related goods. Trout �shing requires a trout stamp. For more information call the DNR information Center at (651) 296-6157 or 1-888-646-6367. To purchase a license by phone 24 hours a day, call 1-888-MN-LICENSE (665-4236).

Selective Harvest Fishing - Improved technology and increased �shing have caused the quality of �shing to decline in many waters. Practicing “Selective Harvest” offers anglers an opportunity to take some �sh home while releasing others back into the water to improve �shing quality. Here are some tips to use for effective Selective Harvest fishing:

Use barbless hooks Play the �sh quickly and handle the �sh carefully Never hold the �sh by the eyes Use a needle nose pliers to remove hooks or cut the line if it is too deep Ease the �sh back into the water, do not throw it back

Sustainable Natural Environments

Practice Sustainable Water Recreation!A healthy and attractive natural environment enables people to enjoy the outdoors without negative impacts on the environment. Communities working together can improve water resources by promoting environmentally sensitive land use practices along rivers and throughout watersheds. Be courteous to other boater and water users Keep a reasonable distance from birds, wildlife, and aquatic vegetation    Travel at safe speeds and be aware of the effect your wake has on the shoreline and other users    Operate your watercraft at a slow no wake speed when appropriate    Use watercraft that is the appropriate type and size for the water resource Boating doesn’t require continuous movement; enjoy �oating, anchoring, and beaching    Conserve fuel by properly operating and maintaining your watercraft    Don’t litter and do properly dispose of boat and sanitary wastes
