Canoe rentals are coming to Rock Springs Conservation Area

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Grab a canoe and hit the water this weekend.

Saturday at Rock Springs Conservation area, the Macon County Conservation District will offer canoe rentals.

"This is the first year we’re offering this, and we kind of wanted to dip our toes in and see what the interest is in something like this," said Director of Program Services Alysia Callison.

All skill levels are welcome.

“The great thing about our Cattail Pond here at Rock Spring is that it’s not very large and it’s really easy to maneuver on the canoe, so it’s great for beginners," said Callison.

It's $10 dollars/hour per canoe, and you can venture out into Cattail Pond from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Canoes are first come, first serve.

But if you can't make it this weekend, no worries.

The conservation district will offer canoes two other days this summer: July 9 and Aug. 13.
