Inspections To Focus On Corridors

As part of a statewide strategy to focus on highrisk corridors for transporting aquatic invasive species into Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks will discontinue inspections at some stations including Tongue River Reservoir this season. In previous years, inspections were provided periodically at Tongue River Reservoir, but inspection data shows that most of the boats inspected were from Montana or Wyoming and presented low risk for transporting aquatic invasive species.

Watercraft inspection is required before launch for all boats entering Montana waters. Watercraft inspections conducted by Wyoming fulfill Montana inspection before launch requirements.

As a reminder, all watercraft — motorized and nonmotorized — must stop at all watercraft inspection stations you encounter. Inspection stations are the first line of defense to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species.
