People ages 13 - 19 have a unique opportunity to get outside and get some exercise on the water this summer.

Each Thursday from July 7 - August 11, teens can rent a canoe for free at the Lake House in Crystal Lake Park. 

The free rentals are from 1 - 3 p.m., each Thursday. Lifejackets must be worn, which we provide. Renters will also need to bring photo ID to participate.

Enjoy the newly refurbished Crystal Lake Park, enjoy nature and get some exercise has you canoe on the lake. The Lake House concession stand will be open.

This is in partnership with the Teen Canoe Club. 

If the weather looks questionable, please call the Lake House at (217) 328-1069, or install the Rainout Line app on your phone.

All teens are welcome to rent a canoe for free!
