A watercraft inspection station is empty in May ahead of the summer season at Clear Lake. In 2025, Parks Canada plans to permit watercraft on Clear Lake under a "one boat, one lake" aquatic invasive species prevention program. The Province of Manitoba wrote last month that anyone transporting motorized or non-motorized watercraft over land must stop at all open watercraft inspection stations along their route; and that Manitobans are legally required to clean, drain and dry both motorized and non-motorized watercraft.
