Wisconsin Boating and Fishing Regulations
Know the Law Before You Go
Boating Regulations Many waterfront homeowners enjoy boating, water skiing, and other activities on the water. However, many of them are unfamiliar with Wisconsin laws and regulations surrounding boating. Therefore, I am pleased to present boaters with links to official sites that explain Federal and Wisconsin-specific boating rules. The Handbook of Wisconsin Boating Laws and Responsibilities (pdf): http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/ORG/ES/ENFORCEMENT/DOCS/BoatingRegs.pdf US Coast Guard’s Rules of Navigation: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/mwv/navrules/rotr_online.htm Boating regulations sorted by topic and by state: http://www.uscgboating.org/state_boating_laws.aspx General list of frequently asked boating questions: http://www.boatus.org/onlinecourse/statelaws/Wisconsin.html State of Wisconsin's Official Safe Boating Course: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/es/enforcement/safety/boated.htm Fishing Regulations Fishing, a popular aquatic pastime in Wisconsin, has as many rules as boating. These rules can change yearly. I am pleased to present anglers with links to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that explains both Federal and Wisconsin-specific fishing rules.
