Oregon boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children 12 and under must wear one on an open deck while the boat is underway, and anyone being towed must wear one.
- When towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber, an observer must watch the rider, a skier-down flag goes up when the rider is in the water, and towing is only allowed from sunrise to sunset.
- Jet skis must stay at slow-no wake speed within 200 feet of the shoreline on lakes and reservoirs (except for safe take-offs and landings) and can’t ride within 200 feet directly behind a towed rider.
- Slow-no wake is required within 200 feet of boat ramps, marinas, moorages, swimmers and anyone working at the water’s edge.
- On Wallowa Lake, boats stay at 5 mph within 200 feet of shore along the west side between the county boat ramp and the mouth of the Wallowa River.
