Watercraft Rentals
Electric motor boat, canoe, kayak and paddleboard rentals are available at Island Lake Conservation Area, Orangeville from mid April to the end of October annually. Use of rental watercraft is dependent on weather conditions so please call ahead to confirm availability and local weather conditions. All equipment must be used within the Conservation Area.
All watercraft rentals include the following:
- life jackets for each boater
- boating safety kit
- paddles
- anchor with rope
Staff will demonstrate proper use of watercraft and accompanying safety equipment upon rental.
All boats are available after sunrise and must be returned before sunset, where seasonal hours of operation permit. i.e. When the Conservation Area opens at 6:00 am and the sun doesn’t rise until 6:15 am, boats would be available at 6:15 am.
