Clean, Drain, Dry!

​What is Clean, Drain, Dry?
It is a vital program to prevent the spread of harmful invasive plants! In three simple steps, protect both your equipment and the bodies of water you enter.
First: clean off all plant parts, animals, and mud from your boat(s) and equipment.
Then, drain onto land (not back into the lake, river, or other body of water!) everything that may have collected water during your venture.
Finally, thoroughly dry all items before launching your vessel(s) into another body of water.
This helps prevent aquatic invasives from spreading, both within the body of water you were exploring and into any other waters you'll enter. Whether or not you can visibly spot potentially invasive plants on your equipment, following this program ensures that none remain on your vessel (which improves its lifespan and functionality) and none are returned to the lake or transported to other lakes to spread. This is imperative for the health and longevity of all waterbodies! Please share this information with other boaters so we can protect our local environment.
