Susan Stocker, Boating Law Administrator with the Iowa DNR with some boat ramp etiquette tips. When arriving at the boat ramp prepare your boat for launching by using the rigging or staging areas which are located away from the ramp. Remember to take your turn when launching your boat. Stay in your own lane while baking your boat into the water. Once the boat is in the water move away from the dock while the vehicle is being parked. With these tips and more you will have a safe and fun boating season. For more information visit www.iowadnr.gov.
