Stand-up paddleboards, or SUPs, are popular on Keoka. Did you know that they are also subject to Maine boating regulations? Paddleboards must have:
A life jacket for each person on board
A sound-producing device such as a whistle
Navigation lights when used between sunset and sunrise – this may be a flashlight or a headlamp with a white light
Visual distress signals when used on federally controlled waters
Paddleboard users must comply with recreational boating laws and rules. For a full description of Maine's boating regulations click here.
