Idaho Invasive Species Inspection Stations
Now Open (Jun 29, 2011; PDF | 116 KB)
Idaho State Department of Agriculture.
All 15 mandatory watercraft inspection
stations are now open in Idaho. The purpose
of these stations is to inspect watercraft
coming from outside of Idaho. Inspectors will
look for high-risk boats that have been in quagga
mussel and zebra
mussel impacted states. Boats will be
inspected for any attached mussels and/or
standing water and owners also will be asked
where they have boated in the previous 30
days. It is important
that boaters arrive in Idaho with a clean,
drained and dry watercraft.
