There will be a Boating Safety Course at the Clarkco State Park lodge on Saturday, April 18, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Effective July 1, 1997, any person born after June 30, 1980, must complete a Boating Safety Course to operate a boat. Persons under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a person 21 or older on board the boat in order to operate the boat.
For persons who wish to learn more about Mississippi Boating Basics and the legal and safe practices for boat operators, a six hour instructor taught course is available for groups. The Mississippi Boating Basics home-study course is available for persons who are unable to attend an instructor taught course. Most insurance companies honor these courses by offering reductions in insurance premiums on completion.
