🛶 🛶 The kayak rentals at Stumpy Lake are getting an upgrade, as tandem kayaks will be arriving soon!
This has been one of the most frequent requests for our kayak rental booths and within the next few weeks, our partner, Rent.Fun, will be installing a new kayak locker at Stumpy Lake with room for four tandem kayaks and eight single kayaks, all available for paddlers 18+ only.
We'll post again when installation begins, as kayak rentals won't be available for a short period.

Watch out for this: the lost pet "vet hospital" scam
Mostly happens off the platform, which is what makes it nasty. A neighbor posts about a lost pet. A scammer reads the post, calls claiming to be a local vet hospital that has the animal, and sends an AI-generated image of the pet apparently in surgery, built from the photos in the original post. Then they ask for payment before the owner can come see them.
Two things for you. Leave the warning posts up, because a neighbor saying this happened to them is how the rest of the neighborhood gets protected. And the tell is the phone call: a real animal hospital will let someone come in and identify their own pet.
