Canadian wanting to trailer sail on Lake Coeur d Alene. Are there any permits or rules we need to comply with prior to trailering our sailboat to enjoy a 7-14 day vacation sailing the lake? Be well.
Answer:
Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game does not regulate boating within the State of Idaho. Idaho Parks and Recreation is the boat regulatory entity, so check their website (http://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/). With that said, Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game Conservation Officers can enforce all boating rules on Idaho waters.
Besides all the safety equipment (lifejackets, horn, lights, etc.) and up-to-date registration, you will also need an Idaho Invasive Species sticker. That can be ordered from Idaho Parks and Recreation's website or purchased at local sporting goods dealers along the Bonner's Ferry/Sandpoint/Coeur d'Alene Highway 95 corridor.
