BOAT Decontamination

Courtesy Boat Decontamination Provided by MN DNR

Boaters can have courtesy decontamination done at dozens of locations around the state of Minnesota. The decontamination units and DNR-authorized watercraft inspectors help to comply with invasive species laws and reduce the risk of spreading aquatic invasive species.
