OUTDOOR RECREATION PART TWO REGISTER ONLINE: mycary.org 45 Bond Park Boat Rentals Boats may be rented from the Bond Park Boathouse.

All participants renting sailboats, canoes, or kayaks must wear a PFD at all times. Prior experience is required for sailboat rentals. For hours of operation and fees, visit carync.gov/boathouse. Tips for Boating on Bond Lake • Outdoor Recreation programs run sprinkle or shine. Please dress appropriately for the weather. • You may get wet while boating at Bond Park. A dry change of clothes is recommended. • Intentional capsizing is part of some of the classes, so plan on getting wet. • Wear footwear, such as old sneakers, that you can wade in and won't come off your feet (i.e. no flip- flops). • Wear clothing made of synthetic material. It will dry much faster than cotton and is less likely to chill you if wet. • Consider bringing/wearing a windbreaker in the spring and fall. • Bring sunscreen, sunglasses with straps, broad brim hat or cap, and a water bottle. • Leave valuables such as keys, wallets, cell phones, and other electronics at home or in a safe place. Do not bring them on the boat, or they may end up in the lake. Day-use locker rentals available in the boathouse restrooms. • No pets permitted on the boats.
