A lake in Lebanon County serves as one of the most popular locations for scuba divers in the Mid-Atlantic region to get certified.
From Nov. 1 through April 30, boaters must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket while on boats less than 16 feet long, kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards.HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission reminds boaters, anglers, and hunters that beginning today, the annual cold-weather life jacket requirement is in effect.
"Outdoor opportunities are still plentiful during the fall and winter seasons, and many people are still enjoying the water, whether paddling, fishing, waterfowl hunting, or taking a scenic foliage tour," said Ryan Walt, PFBC Boating and Watercraft Safety Manager.
According to Pennsylvania boating accident reports, nearly 80% of all boating fatalities occurred because boaters were not wearing life jackets. Since the mandatory life jacket wear law was enacted in 2012, the PFBC has seen a significant drop in the percentage of boating incidents resulting in fatalities during the cold weather months.
