Duck Creek Rules

All relevant Oklahoma laws, as well as the GRDA Lake Rules and Regulations, apply to all GRDA lakes. Failure to comply with these may be a criminal offense.

All vessels must have Oklahoma registration and license by June 30 each year. Boats currently registered in another state may be used on these lakes for a 60-day period without registering them. If the boat remains in Oklahoma for more than 60 calendar days, it must be registered in Oklahoma. Registration stickers must be displayed on the front port and starboard portion of the vessel.

All boats kept or operated on GRDA lakes shall be inspected by GRDA’s Police. A safety inspection sticker shall be placed on the port front portion of the boat. This is a free inspection.
