Boat Cleaning and DisinfectingBoats, trailers, waders and other fishing equipment can spread harmful aquatic invasive species from waterbody to waterbody unless properly cleaned after use. DEC regulations prohibit boats from launching or leaving sites without first draining the boat and cleaning the boat, trailer and equipment. Furthermore, many New York counties, towns, and villages also have laws in place that prohibit the transport of aquatic invasive species on boats, trailers and equipment.To avoid spreading invasive species, follow the 'Clean.Drain.Dry.' method for properly disinfecting your boat and equipment before launching. If you need help, many public boat launches have boat stewards on-site to inspect your watercraft and gear.Use our interactive map feature to locate a boat inspection station and boat steward near you.Certificate Requirements for Boating in the Adirondack Park: As of June 2022, all boaters operating any kind of motorized watercraft in the Adirondack Park and within ten miles of the Blue Line are required by law to possess certification that their vessel has undergone the proper cleaning measures to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Boaters can get their certification from a boat steward at a DEC designated inspection station or by completing a self-issued certificate (PDF) prior to launch. Have questions about this new regulation? See our Frequently Asked Questions (PDF)Register your Boat at the DMVIf you use a motor (electric or fuel-driven), no matter how small the craft or the motor, you must register your boat with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).You can either register your boat online or call the DMV at (518) 486-9786. (Note: In New York, watercraft without a motor do not need to be registered.)Boating Safety Courses and CertificationFor information about boating certificate requirements and boating safety courses, call the OPRHP at (518) 474-0456 or visit the OPRHP boating education page.

Dirt Bike Safety Training

Dirt bike safety training will enhance your understanding of basic dirt bike operation and safe riding techniques. When you know and understand safe riding techniques for dirt bike operation, you can utilize the training to avoid hazards. Riding safely requires you to take responsibility for your own actions, the riding environment, and the operation of the dirt bike. Look at riding as an activity requiring the interaction of three things: personal ability, dirt bike capabilities, and environmental or terrain conditions.Frequently asked questions:

When and where are dirt bike safety training courses offered? 
How much will the dirt bike safety training course cost? 
What curriculum is covered in the dirt bike safety training course? 
Do I have to bring my own dirt bike? 
What are the guidelines for age and size appropriate dirt bikes?

How much will the dirt bike safety training course cost?
