CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

Get out on the water on Lightning Lake during your stay at Manning Park with our boat rentals. Enjoy an adventure in a two-seater canoe, five-person Mackenzie canoe, rowboat, kayak, tandem kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. We have hourly and day rates available at the Boathouse (located at the Lightning Lake Day Use Area). This is fun for the whole family! The Boathouse also stocks a variety of snacks, cold drinks, and ice cream treats.

When the Boathouse is closed, rentals are handled through the Manning Park Resort Front Desk.
