2009 Sojourns

2009 POWR Grant Documents

“Paddling on Pennsylvania’s rivers and lakes is a great outdoor activity for the entire family and one that can be enjoyed from Spring through Fall.  State regulations require all unpowered boats like canoes and kayaks to be registered, or display a launch permit decal in order to launch at most public boat launches.  Launch permits may be purchased from the Commission’s web site at www.fishandboat.com.  Click on Pubs and Products, The Outdoor Shop, PA Fish and Boat Commission, Products, then Boat Permits.  The fees from registering your boat or your purchase of a launch permit support the development and maintenance of the tremendous network of boat access sites throughout the Commonwealth.”
