Invasive species watercraft inspection stations to change operations starting Oct. 1

The seasons are changing! Beginning October 1, watercraft inspection stations will change locations and shift to a first-come, first-served basis. The appointment system will reopen in 2023.

October 1 through 16:
• AIS inspections and decontaminations will continue to be available at the Meyers, Calif. station Thursday through Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

• Inspections will also be available 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the Lake Forest boat ramp in Tahoe City, CA, and at the Cave Rock-Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park boat ramp in Glenbrook, NV from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily during daylight hours.
• Boats that require decontamination will be sent to the Meyers location (Cave Rock and Lake Forest boat ramps will not be able to perform any decontaminations).
• All wakeboard boats with ballast tank systems will need additional time to undergo mandatory decontamination and should plan to go to the Meyers location where those services are offered.

Beginning October 17:
• Inspections will be available only at the Lake Forest and Cave Rock boat ramps.

Save money and get on the water faster: Please arrive at inspection locations Clean, Drained, and Dry to reduce the risk of spreading AIS and to help speed the process.
