Colorado State Parks Boating Safety Operators of all vessels on Colorado waters must abide by both the Colorado boating regulations and statutes.
Reports are necessary only for accidents that occur on the water.
This is required by law. For more details, see the boating statutes . Don't risk your life or the lives of others to save equipment. If two or more boats are involved in one accident, each operator must file an accident report. Operators are required by law to exchange names and addresses, vessel IDs and the name of the owner, if different from the operator.
