To the best of our knowledge, these rules for being on the water are accurate and up to date.  Most state laws relating to water activities are 10+ years old.

It is always advisable to check with local experts or resources to verify the rules for any place you are not familiar with the law.  Some state, regional or local parks require permits and licenses if instruction is taking place.
