Tips for a great day on Lake Claiborne

- Kids 16 and under must wear a life jacket on boats under 26 feet in Louisiana.
Louisiana boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Anyone 16 or younger must wear one while underway on a boat under 26 feet, and everyone on a jet ski must wear one.
- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires two competent people on board, the driver and an observer, unless the driver is 16 or older and the boat has a wide-angle rearview mirror. Towing isn't allowed from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
- Jet skis can't run between sunset and sunrise unless they carry Coast Guard-approved navigation lights, so plan jet ski time for daylight.
- Keep to idle speed in posted no-wake zones and near docks, marinas and boat ramps, and watch for stumps outside marked boat lanes.
