MAINE BOATING LAWS & RULES is a printable 4-page summary of all rules and regulations for boating on the lakes of Maine.
The sole purpose of the rules is to prevent accidents, and all are based on common sense. We urge you to print and review this short document at the beginning of every boating season. Doing so may avoid the inconvenience, embarrassment, and possible fine from a safety inspection by the fisheries warden.
The source for the condensed summary is the 40-page booklet, the Boater’s Guide to Maine Boating Laws and Responsibilities, also available as a free pdf file at www.boat-ed.com/maine/handbook/.
