1 SPECIAL: PULL-OUT POSTER >>>>>>> A SmartStart for Safe Paddling on Pennsylvania s Water Trails Long before airports, highways or even trains, Pennsylvania s streams, rivers and lakes provided a means of transportation for native inhabitants. Today, you can travel these same routes, enjoying the state s natural resources while getting glimpses of rich history and tradition on an official Pennsylvania water trail. Water trails are recreational waterways on a lake, river or ocean between specific points, containing access points and day-use and camping sites for the boating public. Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote resource stewardship. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) and its water trail partners invite you to explore these unique Pennsylvania water trails. As you paddle or row, always remember to Wear It! Your life jacket is the most important piece of gear you have while paddling. In addition, knowledge is critical for boating safely. The statewide network of water trails shown below provide the recreational opportunity for enjoyment and discovery, and this special pull-out poster provides much of the core knowledge to help you have a safe day on the water. Keep it handy, as a reference on what to know before you go! To view more detailed water trail maps, visit the Fish & Boat Commission s website at.

4 <<<<<<< SPECIAL: PULL-OUT POSTER 4 PADDLING SAFETY CHECKLIST: Always wear a life jacket. Know fishing and boating regulations. Be prepared for stream hazards. Obtain proper instruction in boating skills. Carry proper equipment. Leave behind a float plan. Pennsylvania boating regulations One wearable, Coast Guard-approved life jacket (personal flotation device or PFD) in servicable condition and of the appropriate size is required for each person in your boat. If your boat is 6 feet or longer, one throwable device (seat cushion or ring buoy) is required. Canoes and kayaks, regardless of length, are not required to carry a throwable device. Life jackets must be worn by all children 2 years old and younger on all boats 20 feet or less in length while under way, and on all canoes and kayaks. Others are strongly encouraged to wear a life jacket at all times on the water. All boats must display an anchor light (a white light visible at 60 degrees) when at anchor between sunset and sunrise. Boats can use a lantern or clip-on battery-powered unit to meet this requirement. All powered boats must show running lights between sunset and sunrise. Between sunset and sunrise, unpowered boats must carry a white light (visible at 60 degrees), installed or portable, ready to be displayed in time to avoid a collision. All motorboats are required to carry a sound-producing mechanical device audible for a half-mile. Athletic whistles meet this requirement. All motorboats must be registered, regardless of where they launch. Unpowered boats (canoes, kayaks, rowboats, rafts) using Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission access areas must either be registered OR display a valid launch permit. Launch permits can be purchased on the web at. Operating watercraft, including canoes, kayaks and rafts, under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal. The law is strongly enforced for user safety. For further information on boating regulations, contact the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission at. LAUNCH PERMITS Owners of unpowered boats (canoes, kayaks, rowboats, etc.) can launch their boats at PFBC lakes and access areas or at Pennsylvania state parks if their boats display a PFBC launch use permit, OR boat registration, OR Pennsylvania State Parks launch permit or mooring permit. Pennsylvania State Parks recognizes PFBC boat registrations and launch permits. The Commission does NOT recognize launch permits from other states. A PFBC launch permit can be purchased online at the Commission s website. An unpowered boat may have a registration OR launch permit but is not required to have both. For more details on boating regulations, use your smartphone and this QR code to access the Pennsylvania Boating Handbook. ( Paddling safety tips Wear your life jacket. Some 80 percent of all recreational boating fatalities happen to people who are not wearing a life jacket. Expect to get wet. Even the best paddlers sometimes capsize or swamp their boats. Bring extra clothing in a waterproof bag. Be prepared to swim. If the water looks too hazardous to swim in, don t go paddling. If you capsize, hold on to your boat, unless it presents a lifethreatening situation. If floating in current, position yourself on the upstream side of the capsized boat. Be courteous to other boaters and anglers on the stream. Scout ahead whenever possible. Know the stream. Avoid surprises. Be prepared for the weather. Get a forecast before you go. Sudden winds and rain are common and can turn a pleasant trip into a risky venture. Wear wading shoes or tennis shoes with wool, polypropylene, pile or neoprene socks. Never take your boat near, or go over, a low-head dam. Dams are drowning machines and are dangerous to approach from upstream and downstream. Portage (carry) your boat around any section of water about which you feel uncertain. Never boat alone. Boating safety increases with numbers. Keep painter lines (ropes tied to the bow) and any other ropes coiled and secured. Never tie a rope to yourself or to another paddler, especially a child. Kneel to increase your stability before entering rougher water, like a rapid. If you collide with an obstruction, lean toward it. This will usually prevent your capsizing or flooding the boat. File a float plan with a reliable person, indicating where you are going and when you will return. Remember to contact the person when you have returned safely. Hazards on the water Dams: Water going over a dam creates a back current, or undertow, that can pull a boat into the turbulence and capsize it. This hydraulic can often trap and hold a person or a boat. Hazards include the areas above and below the dam. Paddlers can spot dams by looking downstream for a horizontal line across the water. Current: Never underestimate the power of moving water. Boaters who are not sure that their boat or their ability is up to the prevailing conditions should stay off the water. Strainers: Trees are typical strainers that can trap and flood boats. Water flows through these obstructions, but solid objects do not. Strainers can pin victims underwater. Cold water: Sudden immersion in cold water can lead to cardiac arrest or can cause a person to inhale water. If you fall into cold water, immediately cover your mouth and nose with your hands. Dress properly for the cold by wearing a hat, several layers of clothing and warm boots. Wool, pile and polypropylene provide warmth even when wet. Avoid cotton fabrics. Hypothermia: Hypothermia is the lowering of the body s core temperature. It begins with shivering. Judgment then becomes clouded and unconsciousness sets in. Death can occur if hypothermia is not treated. Remove a hypothermic person from the water and replace wet clothes with warm, dry clothing and a blanket. Do not massage the extremities or give the victim alcohol or caffeine. Heat exhaustion and sunburn: When it is hot, wear sunglasses, a hat and lightweight, light-colored clothing. Apply sunblock with a high SPF rating and drink lots of fluids. 4 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater May/June 20
