Responsible recreation on the river means researching current water levels and conditions, following local, state and federal boating laws, knowing the limits of your skills--and always wearing a life jacket!  Boating resources, including information about boat registration as well as free boating safety classes, are available through Idaho State Parks & Recreation's Boating Program and the Oregon State Marine Board's Boater Information website.
