Small Watercraft Launch

Located in the middle of Centennial Park, this new addition has quickly become a source of activity. It is intended to be used as a location to launch small watercrafts such as canoes, kayaks and paddle boards. It also serves as a great launching pad for our dogs to refresh during the summer!

Boat Launch

Located at the west end of Centennial Park, this area has recently undergone landscape renovations to make parking easier and more enjoyable for vehicles and boat trailers.

It is free to use the municipal boat launch.
