About

Who we are

Paddle Rules Finder is a small independent project run by paddlers who got tired of digging through a dozen agency pages to find out whether a kayak needs a sticker. We don't take payment for placement. Contact: [email protected].

How we work

Every rule comes from an official state agency, statute or federal page, linked on the state's page with the date we last checked it. If we can't confirm a rule on an official page, we say so instead of guessing. Launch sites come from public state and city open data.

Affiliate links

If we add shop links, they'll be clearly marked as affiliate links, with prices, and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
