Canoe and Kayak Rentals
Whether you want to reduce stress after a hard day’s work, try your hand at recreational fishing, or challenge your upper body and burn calories by paddling as fast as you can, Sunfish Lake is the place to be!
The City of Ramsey, in conjunction with grant funding from the Anoka County State Health Improvement Program (SHIP), has installed a self-service canoe and kayak kiosk at Sunfish Lake Park, located at 6330 Sunwood Drive, at the intersection of Sunfish Lake Boulevard NW and Sunwood Drive NW. The kiosk holds two single-person sit-in kayaks and two three-person canoes. Paddles and life vests are also provided.
How to Rent
There is no charge for use, but a ‘swipe card’ is required to access the watercraft. You can obtain this card at the Public Works Facility, located at 14199 Jasper Street NW, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. When picking up the card, you must read and sign the Canoe and Kayak Terms of Use Agreement, submit the Voluntary Waiver of Liability Agreement, and provide proof of ID. You must be a resident of Anoka County and at least 18 years old to obtain a swipe card.
