Impact DescriptionBoats launching at Highline Lake will continue to be subject to inspection and decontamination protocols prior to launching. All boats must be clean, drained, and dry prior to launching at Highline Lake. Upon exiting the lake, all boaters will have their boat inspected and decontaminated and will be issued a blue receipt that indicates it was last used on a body of water with a known aquatic nuisance species. Boaters can expect decreased ramp hours and longer exit wait times when boating resumes at Highline in May.
