Life jackets required on small craft starting Nov. 1

Life jackets are mandatory on Pennsylvania waters Nov. 1 through April 30 for all people on boats shorter than 16 feet

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulation went into effect for the first time Nov. 1, 2012. It states: “A person shall wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD or life jacket) during the cold weather months from November 1st through April 30th while underway or at anchor on boats less than 16 feet in length or any canoe or kayak.”
