After enrolling in advance, swing by Prairie Park Nature Center to pick up your ticket, then enjoy a short, scenic stroll to the lake. $40 Per Canoe $25 Per Kayak. You must pre-register: https://prairieparknaturecenter.my.canva.site/fall25-advertisement.

You will then collect your equipment at the boat barn and spend up to two hours soaking in the fresh air, smooth waters, and sunshine while keeping an eye out for wildlife. Feel free to bring your own fishing gear to see what you might catch!

Please remember to wear a life jacket at all times while on the water, and return your equipment when you're finished.

Enrollment is per boat—grab a kayak for solo exploring or team up with two others in a canoe for a shared journey.

Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a curious first-timer, Mary's Lake offers the perfect backdrop for a fantastic aquatic outing!
