Boaters in Oklahoma are required to comply with the state boating laws, including the requirement to carry a Boater Education Card if you’re required to. Oklahoma’s lakes and rivers are regularly patrolled by law enforcement to keep the waters a safe and enjoyable place.

There are three boating law authorities in Oklahoma:

• • Officers of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Division
• • The U.S. Coast Guard (on federal waters)
• • Lake Patrol Section Troopers
