If there’s anything we know, it’s summer = lake season. This summer, you can find the ultimate FREE summer activity at Shadyside Lake in Anderson, IN! Head to the dock by Bobber’s Café (1117 Alexandria Pike, Anderson, IN 46012) from 1-6PM Thursdays through Mondays throughout the summer for free kayak and paddle boat rental!
Enjoy up to 2 peaceful hours on the lake with family and friends, then head to Bobber’s Café for some delicious ice cream to end the day! Please remember there are 5 kayaks and 4 paddle boats available for rental on a first come, first served basis, so if you have to wait for the next boat, take a walk around the trails or get your ice cream first! #MeetUsAtThePark
