Canoes, paddleboats, and flat bottom boats are available for rent, Sat, Sun May & Sept, Daily Memorial Day thru Labor Day. Electric trolling motors only, bring your own. Pets are welcome in Wisconsin State Parks but must be on a leash and under control at all times. Certain areas may be off limits to pets. Visit our website for more details.
