Canoe Share

Another great season of paddling is around the corner and we have an exciting program that everyone should know about.  But first, we would like to ask for your help.  Help us spread the word.  The program is called Canoe Share.  

The concept behind Canoe Share is simple.  During the paddling season you’ll have access to our dock.  Bring your canoe, kayak or paddle board and enjoy exclusive access from our dock into the Mersey River.  If you don’t have a canoe or the equipment to paddle, no problem.  We’ll give you access to that too.  

Become a member and begin paddling with our Canoe Share Program.  

Your help is greatly appreciated.  Help us spread the word about our Canoe Share program to your family and friends!
