Before launching any watercraft within Glacier National Park, it is mandatory to undergo an inspection for aquatic invasive species (AIS) near the boat put in. The purpose of this inspection is to prevent the spread of these harmful non-native species, which can cause significant damage to the native aquatic ecosystems. These inspections help preserve the natural beauty and ecological balance of the park so visitors can fully enjoy their time on the pristine waters of Glacier National Park.
