The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) would like to remind anglers and boaters that the Lifejacket Loan Program makes lifejackets available for infants to adults.
All life jackets are in good working order and approved by the US Coast Guard. These life jackets are free and can be loaned out for up to two weeks at a time. The program is designed to educate the public on the wearing and safety of life jackets and offers a way to provide life jackets to those in need. Life jackets are required by state law for every person aboard a watercraft.
