New Regulations, Mandatory Inspections
in Effect
Colorado Division of Wildlife.
New regulations are now in effect for
the 2009 boating season. All out-of-state
boats and resident boats that go out-of-state
and return to Colorado must pass a state-certified
inspection for zebra
mussels and other aquatic
nuisance species prior to launching in any
Colorado lake, reservoir or waterway. In
addition, boats that have launched on any
of the Colorado lakes or reservoirs where
mussels have been detected must pass an inspection
before launching at a new location. See the 2009
Watercraft Inspection Program & Statewide
Inspection Site List (PDF | 54 KB) for
