Boat Inspections
All registered boats are required to have an Inspection Sticker before being launched in Lake County waters. This is to protect the lakes from invasive quagga and zebra mussels.
For complete information, including the application process and inspection station locations,
see
Lake County Invasive Mussel Prevention Program.
Inspections are not required for canoes, kayaks, car-top boats, float tubes, rafts, wind surfers/boards, boogey boards, nonmotorized paddle boats, and nonmotorized sail boats that are eight feet or less in length.
