Default Boat Inspection Station

I’m looking for a boat inspection station that is consistently open. I haven’t been out of AB for 90 days with my boat (sk) but am going to Minnewanka in the near future and would like to get a inspection completed before going.

I know the rules, it only applies if out of AB BC in the past 30 days but I’d rather not have to go through the proof of that (no one can prove that) and just a piece of mind.

I’m between Calgary and Red Deer most with the boat and have yet to come across one.

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware these inspections are only along the border. I know when we leave cold lake to head over to Saskatchewan there is one right there and we get an inspection when we come back into Alberta.

I haven't been west of Calgary yet this year fishing, but the boat inspection station at the Jumping Pound Truck Inspection Scare was usually open last year.

This is a weird ask and post in my mind but maybe I'm missing something.

Why don't you just drain, dry and clean your boat as per their instructions they provide? You really want to seek them out so they can do what? See that you did your part? All they have done when I've been stopped is look and check. They have not done any special testing that I'm aware of.
