• BOATERS - BE AWARE OF A NEW STATE LAW! 
  The Idaho Invasive Species Law and Boater Registration
  Under the new law, any boat that is registered in Idaho or another state, and any non-motorized vessel (canoe, kayak, raft, drift boat, etc.) will be required to purchase and display IISF stickers in order to legally launch and operate in Idaho. Inflatable, non-motorized vessels must be less than 10 feet in length to be exempted from this requirement.
