Lake McDonald Boat cruise
Is this restriction issued by the National Park Service impacting this tour?
WEST GLACIER, MT – Starting on August 3, Glacier National Park will begin scheduling motorized watercraft inspections and sealing for those boaters wishing to launch on Lake McDonald after a 30-day quarantine period.
The quarantine process is designed to prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels and other invasive species from entering park waters on motorboats. Glacier National Park sits at the headwaters of three continental scale watersheds, and the introduction of invasive mussels would have significant economic, ecological, and recreational impacts not only for the park but also communities downstream.
Thank you!

In any case I suspect commercial boats have been carefully inspected to avoid any chance they might lose bookings/money! I doubt there will be any impact.
