Boat Permit Information

Please note: Fractional boat lengths are rounded up.
                  (a 19.2 foot boat is considered to be 20 feet)

The maximum length of any boat to be launched or operated on the city chain of lakes shall not exceed 21 feet, with the exception of pontoon boats and sail boats, which shall not exceed 24 feet. No boat exceeding a width of eight feet shall enter any canal.
