KFW advises motorists on land and sea to use caution this Memorial Day weekend
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is reminding boaters and motorists heading out on the water and the roads to be safe this Memorial Day weekend.
KFW says game wardens, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other law enforcement agencies will be patrolling state waterways to check boaters for legal and safety considerations including lifejackets, boat registration, watercraft safety, and possible impairment. KFW is offering several safety tips ahead of the weekend.
KFW says Kentucky law requires each occupant of a boat to have ready access to a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, and children under the age of 12 must wear one at all times in the open portion of a boat. Life jacket loaner stations are available at several locations across the state.
Alcohol is the leading cause of injuries and accidents on Kentucky waterways. Operating a vehicle or boat under the influence is extremely dangerous, impairs judgement and reaction time, and is illegal. Always boat sober.
Stay weather aware before heading onto the water. Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing conditions. Always have reliable means of communication on board to receive weather updates. File a float plan with a friend or family member detailing your plans and who will be on the boat with you in the event of an emergency.
Check the condition of Kentucky waterways on the KFW Waterbodies Search webpage. Download the Fish Boat KY app or visit fw.ky.gov to access more information.
