SUMMARY: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) urges boaters to prioritize safety as summer begins and boat activity increases, especially after Memorial Day. TWRA patrols about 25 miles of Old Hickory Lake, reminding boaters to maintain a proper lookout to avoid accidents. Individuals born on or after January 1, 1989, must complete an online boating education course. Children under 13 must wear life jackets, and drinking while operating a boat is illegal. TWRA advises carrying extra life jackets and a fire extinguisher onboard. With growing populations and new boat owners in Middle Tennessee, TWRA anticipates a busy summer focused on safety and enforcement.
