Do You Own a Boat, Kayak, or Stand-up Paddleboard?

Help prevent the spread of invasive (aka non-native) plants and animals. Remember to clean, drain, and dry every time you plan to move your vessel to a different lake, reservoir, or river. These small steps make a big difference so you can keep enjoying your favorite waterbodies for future years.
