You're welcome to bring your canoe or kayak and enjoy the lake or river!
Registered campers who wish to do a float on their own may put in or take out at our river access for a small fee. See below for rules:
🔸Arm bands must be purchased and worn while floating. Anyone trying to land at our access without an the appropriate arm band will not be
allowed to take out and will have to float on down the river to the next public access, 3 miles down river.
🔸 All personal watercraft must be declared at check-in and the fee paid at that time. Fee is one time during your stay, not every time you float.
🔸 Inflatables of any kind are not permitted to use our river access.
