Summer 2023 - Boathouse on the Red

Happy spring and summer seasons!

The photo shows the status of the sidewalk path down the dock area, as of 5/11/23. Currently, the City of GF cannot install the floating dock due to the area still being under a few feet of water, so we'll have to be patient and wait for their call.

We will keep you posted as Memorial Day weekend gets closer to let you know if we'll be able to open or not.

While you're here, head on over to the Boathouse tab to see information about our hours and rates for this season.

Paddle on!

Hello ENDWET lovers!

Are you interested in being a support paddler? This year, END-WET is asking swimmers who sign up to have their paddlers in place before they register. This being said, there are swimmers who have signed up who are in need of a paddler.

Unfortunately we will not be open Memorial Day Weekend--the riverbank is still too wet for the heavy equipment to put the dock in. We are hoping for a May 30 opening if the rain holds off. Please check back next week for an update.

Summer 2020 adventure plans

We hope you are well, and safe, in these difficult times. For everyone's safety, we have canceled the Girls Adventure Running Camp in June. We are working on precautions that may allow us to operate the Boathouse. If we can work that out, our opening date will depend on when the City can install the dock. Watch for an annoucement here. (We still hope we can host our annual Youth & Family Adventure Race in early fall!)
