Taking to the water in your power boat, sailboat, jetski, or canoe is a great way to enjoy Colorado’s many waterways.

Whether you're swimming or boating, it's important to use common sense while you’re out on the water. The Colorado Boating Program helps you get underway safely while enhancing your boating experience.

Registration is required for all power boats and sail boats operating on Colorado waters. Boating accidents that result in injury or death, or damage beyond $500 must be reported using a Boating Accident Report Form.  Click the Boatable Waters link for a list of  Colorado waterways to take your boat. Be a safe and competent boater by  becoming familiar with the current Colorado boating Rules & Regulations.
