Paddle in the Parks

Enjoy an evening paddle on Dane County waterways.

This event is free if you bring your own boat. We have five canoes available to rent for $20 each. Each canoe can hold up to two adults (paddling) and 1-2 children if seated. A PFD must be worn at all times while out on the water. Rental boats will include PFDs.

The route is about 4.25 miles long. It is a very easy paddle and is great for novice paddlers.
