We have four boat stations set up throughout Kootenai and Northern Shoshone Counties.The boat stations open as early as March 6 and go through October 31 of each season. These boat stations help to prevent invasive species such as quagga and zebra mussels from entering our lakes from infested areas throughout the country.  These mussels damage boats, gear, fisheries, and water infrastructure. If you would like to learn or educate yourself on what to look for when inspecting your own boat, just stop by one of our boat inspection stations and our inspectors will gladly show you the proper way.  Clean-Drain-Dry is our motto.
