Jeriatric	05/17/2014 05:37AM I had my canoe registered in Minnesota (California does not register canoes) just so that I'd have markings on it for my Canadian trips. Neither British Columbia nor Yukon Territory require registration but I wanted some way to identify the canoe and show that it originated in the states.

I found a table in that kink before but can't tonight I in a tent. Did find a summary that matches my memory of CA gov site. paddlecraft safety equipment But foreign registered craft are exempt.

Maybe one other - like a rope or painter line or anchor or something not usually required in US." I've never seen that, Bill. Do you have any link to share on that point?" I had to hunt in snakecharmer's link (thanks snakecharmer!) but in there at a bottom of this page is the exception for foreign registered craft. Got what you need?

OldFingers57	05/14/2014 04:29PM Great thanks for the replies!
Jackfish	05/14/2014 04:25PM Been going to Q for 30 years. No canoe registration is required.
billconner	05/14/2014 03:33PM I am quite sure you are OK with US registration. I found this once but can't recall where. And just not - Google seem to get me to a CA site that says only pleasure craft of 10 hp and above require registration. Heck those Canadians are reasonable.
OldFingers57	05/14/2014 02:43PM I'm taking my canoe to the Q this year, so is my registration here in the States OK up there or is there something else I need to pay for?
