The Grant
County Marine Unit wishes you safe and enjoyable boating wherever you choose
to boat. Please know the water that you choose to boat on. Contact the jurisdiction
that you’re going to boat in for possible hidden hazards on bodies of
water. Knowing the water you choose to boat on could “keep you out of
deep water”.
