Kayaking/Canoeing Laws
Message:
I have been wondering this lately and really could not find anything pertaining to it in the CT boaters guide so maybe someone on here can clarify it for me. First one being someone once told me that a PFD must be worn at ALL times while operating a kayak or canoe is this true? Also what is the rule about putting either in a body of water. The anglers and boaters guide only list so many places. I basically go with if it doesn't mention anything about the operation of vessels or boats prohibited, then I will use my kayak in there.

Hey Joe, the pfd thing is only during colder months. I believe it's like October til May, I'm not sure of the actual dates though. Phil had said it is listed somewhere in the boater guide I think. So you do not have to wear one 24/7. I think your right on the yak thing to, if it isn't posted "no vessels" I believe you can launch and go dude.

The pfd question is under Part 8- Safety Information
Canoe and Kayak Safety
• Wear Your Life Jacket (PFD)! Is it the proper size and in good condition? There must be a wearable PFD aboard for each person. From October 1st through May 31st, you MUST wear a PFD (state law) when in a manually propelled vessel.
