Pertinent details according to the GRDA Police website:

  • All relevant Oklahoma laws, as well as the GRDA Lake Rules and Regulations, apply to all GRDA lakes. Failure to comply with these may be a criminal offense.
  • All vessels must have Oklahoma registration and license by June 30 each year. Boats currently registered in another state may be used on these lakes for a 60-day period without registering them. If the boat remains in Oklahoma for more than 60 calendar days, it must be registered in Oklahoma. Registration stickers must be displayed on the front port and starboard portion of the vessel.
  • All boats kept or operated on GRDA lakes shall be inspected by GRDA’s Police. A safety inspection sticker shall be placed on the port front portion of boat. This is a free inspection.
  • The Kyle Williams Boating Safety Education Act prohibits kids between the ages of 12 and up to 16 years old, without a valid drivers license, from operating any vessel powered by a motor of more than 10 horsepower or a sailing vessel 16-feet or longer without first completing a state approved Boater Safety Course. They must also have a certificate documenting their completion of the course. Fines for violating this new law range from $50-$500. Our goal is to help you make sure your family is safe while having fun and in compliance with the law.
  • As a service to recreational boaters on our lakes, GRDA is offering Boater Safety Courses, FREE of charge.
