How it works

• Say where and when. Tick where you are paddling, then choose your campsites and your nights.
• Add your photo ID and sign once. It is the same form as your rental waiver, so you do it one time.
• Get your application number, then your permit. Your application is filed the moment you sign and you see its number straight away. We email and text you when your permit is issued — print it from your trip page and bring it with you.

Paddling as a group?

Start it once, then invite everyone from your trip page. Each paddler does their own waiver, photo ID and application on their own phone, before anyone rents — and you see who is done.
