New Waterway Conservation Fee will support canoe and kayak access, programs.

An updated registration fee schedule is in effect for non-motorized watercraft with registrations set to expire March 1, 2010. It will provide additional funding for the maintenance and upgrade of non-motorized boat access and enhance recreational opportunities for paddlesports enthusiasts.

The registration for non-motorized watercraft will be $17. Alternative registration decals will be $22. The new fees do not include the standard writing fee of $3 received by watercraft registration agents. Ohio watercraft registrations are valid for a 3-year period and are collected by the ODNR Division of Watercraft. The revenue generated by the registration of canoes, kayaks, non-motorized sail boats, rowboats and inflatable boats will be deposited in the Waterways Safety Fund and used to maintain and upgrade existing non-motorized boat access sites such as canoe and kayak launch sites.
