COLUMBUS, OH – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is offering an opportunity to learn and ask questions at a boating education course on Saturday, Feb. 25. The one day course will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at ODNR’s administrative headquarters, located in Columbus at 2045 Morse Road, Building E.
The Ohio Boating Education Course covers a variety of boating topics such as the navigation rules of the road, boating and personal safety equipment, navigational signage, safety tips, Ohio boating laws and much more. Nearly 14,000 Ohioans completed an approved boating safety education course last year.
Ohio law requires any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1982, to be able to show proof they have successfully completed an approved boating safety education course if they operate any watercraft powered by a motor greater than 10-horsepower.
The fee for the course is $5, which covers the cost of course materials and is due at the start of the class. To pre-register for this class, interested people may call the Division of Watercraft at 614-265-6652 or register by email to valerie.cox@dnr.state.oh.us.
For additional information on Ohio’s boating requirements, education classes and other boating opportunities and programs, visit the Division of Watercraft’s website at www.ohiodnr.com or call toll-free in Ohio at 877-4(BOATER).
