Oregon’s New “Boat” Law: Inner Tubes Now Require a Permit
Think your summer river float is safe from red tape? Think again. Starting January 1, 2026, Oregon’s new law (House Bill 2982) says two inner tubes tied together count as a boat — and yes, that means you’ll need a Water Access Permit or face a $115 fine. Governor Kotek.
NOT SATIRE:
Same for stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes.
$6 for a 7 day permit
$20 for a one year permit

Kotek ain't putting up with shit in Oregon. (These two are satire, but the tube boat thing IS NOT SATIRE.)
Why I am leaving this absurd state in a short while, getting my ducks in a roll and by September my ass will not shade or hit the screen door on my way out.
