Chena Lakes Rec Area

Chena Lakes Public Recreation Area

I list Chena Lakes when it's hot, to remind you of a gorgeous place to take the family to cool off, and go swimming or boating.

The cost for a vehicle full is $4.00 ($1.00 per person if you bike, bus, or walk)

My favorite part of Chena Lakes is the clean and inexpensive boat rental.

They have canoes, row boats, pedal boats, and kayaks. They provide life vests, paddles or oars.

You need to leave your drivers license (or ID), and have an adult sign a consent form.

Then boat around the lake to picnic sites or camping spots. It's a non-motorized like, so it's a peaceful and calm day spent on the water.

Prices:

Canoe $6/hour $24/day

Row boat $8/hour $32/day

Pedal boat $10/hour $40/day

Kayak $6/hour $24/day
